My mobile phone is a Nexus S.
I upgraded one of them, the Dell Mini 9, to have a 32GB SSD, since it originally came with 8GB which wasn't enough for me.
Earlier this year I decided that I should get into photography, so I bought a second-hand Canon 400D Digital SLR with a 50mm lens.
My alarm-clock is a HF3461 Philips Wake-up Light.
Communication
One of these titles is PlayStation Home - I mainly collaborate with other Sony Computer Entertainment studios in bringing their franchises into Home, the rest of my time is spent on designing my own games for it.
Productivity
I tend to build rough frameworks of my planning in MS Excel but as soon as I can I just migrate everything into Hansoft.
Browser
Coding & Development
I use Hansoft for all task and resource management in the studio.
I am studying Japanese within Sony but for general practice I use an app called Human Japanese.
And just like the rest of the game industry I'm hooked to Game Dev Story.
Design
On my left monitor in the office I run Bumptop.
Media
On my phone, but also at home and in the office, I use Spotify Premium.
Other
Another app that I often use to manage my music collection is WebSharing, it allows me to set up a wireless connection between my Android phone and my PC so I can easily transfer files.
