11. I’ve been visiting the site for half a year now since I was first turned on to your guys’ tablet pc podcast. Listening and reading your take on new tech is interesting and thought provoking. Keep up the good work!

1. Kevin and James first worked together on what defunct web site?
This would be Pocketpctools.com.

2. JK had what emergency surgery 6 years ago?
He had a triple coronary bypass.. sounds.. not very fun.

3. What famous heart surgeon performed that surgery?
Dr Gérald Lawrie, must have been good, eh?

4. For how long after the surgery was JK unable to speak?
5 weeks, but I’m sure it only seemed like a moment to his family. Kidding.

5. What hastened JK’s release from the hospital?
Due to “Possible terrorist activities” as a result of Sept 11th.

6. Kevin first announced his engagement where on the web?
Twitter, maybe a first? I’ll have to check that, but I would think so.

7. What is the name of JK’s dog that aided in his recovery from the surgery?
Oreo, and I still think that’s an odd name for a dog.
8. Name JK’s grandson (first and middle names).
First name: Grady Middle name: Leland
9. Name JK’s dog that had to be put to sleep.
Bradlee
10. How many fires have been experienced in the JK household?
Too many… Well, Two a grill fire and an oven fire.
11. Well, I’ve been following the site often since the review of the tabletkiosk umpc (I believe jk was one of the first to get a hands on review). I had been interested in tablets/umpc devices, so when I found this site I thought it was one to keep up with. When Kevin came along, the site really picked up with even more posts per day, very nice. I suppose one of the nicest features of teh site is the really personal atmosphere. It’s much easier to get a sense of your reviews ;and trust your observations without actually having to see teh device in person.

11. I first encountered JKontherun 2-3 years back when I was googling for a new HP PDA review. Since then I’ve dropped my PDA interest and moved onto ultra mobile PCs. I’m always on the go and constantly forgetting things so pocket pcs are the only thing that keep me organised and on top of things. Way ahead of the launch of UMPCs and Bill Gates’s interest in these devices I’d thought there was a massive untapped market for pocket pcs to replace the old simple OS devices like PDAs or Blackberries. The thing I noticed was JKontherun also thought the same way, so this has been the place to follow a market that is developing over the past few years. JKontherun has shaped the market I suspect, bringing new devices into touch with potential users and maybe even influencing the design of new devices. 2007 has been the best year yet for mobile pc devices, 2008 I predict will be even better and be the first year we canb truely say these devices have become mainstream.

The old way was:
Phone
PDA
Laptop
Desktop

The new way will be:
Smartphone
Dockable UMPC

11. I’m not sure exactly when I started reading JKOTR but it was before Kevin came on board. Your site is a “must read” for me several times a day. I bought a Samsung Q1 after reading and watching all the great video reviews and posts. I also ended up getting the stowaway bluetooth keyboard and other stuff to after reading. So, it’s time for you guys to give something back! Just kidding! :)
