Garmin Finds Phones

5:59 PM -- Do you think Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN) saw my prediction about the death of the standalone GPS navigator? (See Bye, Bye Navigator.) The vendor is now working on a location phone. No surprise, but will people pay $500 for one? Our latest poll suggests maybe not. (See Phones, You Buying? )

Dan is to hats what Will.I.Am is to ridiculous eyewear. Fedora, trilby, tam-o-shanter -- all have graced the Jones pate during his career as the go-to purveyor of mobile essentials.

But hey, Dan is so much more than 4G maps and state-of-the-art headgear. Before joining the Light Reading team in 2002 he was an award-winning cult hit on Broadway (with four 'Toni' awards, two 'Emma' gongs and a 'Brian' to his name) with his one-man show, "Dan Sings the Show Tunes."

His perfectly crafted blogs, falling under the "Jonestown" banner, have been compared to the works of Chekhov. But only by Dan.

He lives in Brooklyn with cats.
