About Dallas Thomas
I've always been a tinkerer — from taking apart toys as a kid, to working on cars for a living in my 20s. Almost compulsively, anytime I come across something new, I have to examine it from all angles and get a thorough understanding of how it works from the inside out. As you can imagine, that drive became an obsession when I got my first smartphone, and ever since then, I've been soaking up and exploring everything the mobile industry has to offer. I've gained a respectful appreciation for Apple and iOS over the years, but deep down inside, my true love is and probably always will be Android.
