The February issue of m|ph is out! Coke girl Nikki Gil is featured on the cover, showing off Creative’s Zen Micro digital music player.
Yeah, I know, it’s a few days late, but since it’s my first issue as Editor in Chief (again), I hope you can cut me some slack. It took quite an effort getting back into the groove of putting out a magazine. Nevertheless, we think we’ve brought out another good issue.

We have full-page reviews of the Sony PlayStation Portable, the Nintendo DS, and the Nokia 9500 Communicator, and shorter ones of the iPod photo and the hot new iPod shuffle. Other devices in the review section are the Nokia Fashion Line phones (7260, 7270, and 7280), the Archos Gmini 400, and the Motorola RAZR V3. We also show off portable photo printers from Canon, Kodak, and HP.

Other articles that you are sure to enjoy and learn from are Survivor, geek edition , where Howard and and I try to last five days without our laptops, and a new section, the Editors’ chat, essentially the transcript of a no holds barred group chat about the PSP and the DS. In the we focus on ncryption applications, all the better to keep your little black books safe from prying eyes.

And, in keeping with the theme of Valentine’s Day, we feature an interview with Paolo and Suzi Abrera, and show off the sleekest and sexiest cell phone-Bluetooth headset pairs.

There will be more changes in the next issues, all with the idea of strengthening m|ph’s mission of serving as the definitive guide to the mobile lifestyle.

Enjoy this new issue, and please give us tons of feedback.
