Bringing you the latest news, guides, reviews, and hottest takes on everything happening in the world of mobile tech is a full-time job — one which Android Police is only too happy to fill. Our editorial staff is hard at work every day producing the smartphone, wearable, tablet, and smart home content you crave, and keeping up with everything that's worth sharing is a team effort. Meet the crew behind Android Police:
James Peckham
Editor-in-Chief
James is the Editor-in-Chief of Android Police, where he helps the team cover everything mobile technology and beyond. He works across news, features, reviews, buyer’s guides, and more. If Android Police writes about it, you can expect him to be involved in some way. Previously, he was Senior Phones Editor at TechRadar, where he covered the latest developments in smartphones and wearables for the best part of a decade. And, yes, that means he used to use an iPhone for a bit. Based in London, James has appeared on BBC News, Al Jazeera, and other TV networks, podcasts, and radio shows as an expert on the latest technology trends. He was also the first reporter to reveal the return of the Motorola Razr brand for the company’s series of foldable phones. When not thinking about gadgets, you’ll find him watching an extraordinary amount of films, eating his way through London’s best (affordable) restaurants, or playing Hitman 3 through for the 47th time.
Dallas Thomas
News Editor
Dallas is the News Editor at Android Police, where he stays on top of the latest comings and goings around the world’s largest mobile operating system. He has been active on Android forums since the early days of the ecosystem and likes staying immersed in the culture, so keeping up with news and vetting leaks comes naturally to him. Originally from Houston and now based in Austin, Dallas was the type of kid who would take apart his toys to see what made them tick. His innate curiosity for how things work led him to a career covering Android in 2014 at WonderHowTo and later Gadget Hacks, and that's where he found his true calling. He's rooted every phone he ever owned, although he usually sticks with the stock ROM nowadays. When he's not digging into Android, he's either hiking, watching a Rockets game, or busy raising his young son.
Dominic Preston
Managing Commerce Editor
Dominic is the Managing Commerce Editor at Android Police, which means he looks after all the content that helps you buy your next phone - or case, charger, tablet, and all sorts of other stuff besides. Before that, he was the Deputy Editor at Tech Advisor, where he covered just about every bit of consumer tech out there for most of a decade. When he's not focused on phones, Dominic can sometimes be found writing about videogames, film, or food. And if he's not doing any of that, he's probably watching an Arsenal game.
Matt Sholtz
Games & Apps Editor
Matt is the Games and Apps Editor at Android Police. He's been gaming his entire life since his first taste of a TI-99 at four years old. Matt has been an Android user since the HTC Hero and has been covering roundups, reviews, and daily mobile game news coverage for over a decade. He's a person that holds a peculiar yet deep interest in all things to do with handheld gaming and constantly pushes to advance the state of the mobile industry beyond the bounds of its predatory monetization obsession. Matt is a furious nitpicker and something of an (albeit amusing) curmudgeon, a writer that can instantly find fault in just about anything, yet he chooses to wield this power for good from the comfort of his armchair to ensure the best Android games and apps aren't lost to obscurity.
Steven Winkelman
Managing Evergreen Editor
Steven is the Managing Evergreen Editor at Android Police. Before joining the company, he was the mobile analyst at PCMag, reviewing hundreds of smartphones and tablets, exploring the growth of assistive technologies, and covering Apple and Google’s privacy initiatives. He also worked as a mobile and wearables reporter at Digital Trends. Steven hold a BA in English and an MA in journalism and new media. He is a member of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) and Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE). When he’s not writing or editing, you’ll find Steven scouring bookstores and working alongside socially engaged artists to improve their communities.
Taylor Kerns
Gadgets Editor
Taylor was an amateur phone nerd for the better part of a decade prior to joining Android Police in 2018, where he's since authored more than a thousand articles about all things Android. He serves as Gadgets Editor, and you'll see his byline on editorials, reviews, comparative buyer's guides, and technical explainers, as well as the occasional piece of breaking news. Taylor's got soft spots for personal audio, wearable tech, smart lights, and mobile photography. There's a good chance he's carrying a Pixel phone right now. In his time away from AP, you'll probably catch Taylor hanging out with his two dogs, playing Xbox, or out shooting with his beloved Fuji X-T20.
Will Sattelberg
Phones Editor
Will is the Phones Editor at Android Police, where he covers everything from leaks of your next phone to the components that'll power it. He's got plenty of opinions about the current state of Android phones — thoughts you'll read in his reviews, editorials, and more. You'll also find him writing up our buyer's guides, where he hopes to help shoppers make the right choice in their next phone. Will appears on the Android Police podcast, where he occasionally taunts his co-hosts with bad opinions about smartwatches and charging cables, and writes AP's weekend polls. In his spare time, he produces podcasts, rewatches the same 37 films, and pretends not to have a never-ending backlog of video games. He lives in Buffalo, NY and is willing to give you chicken wing recommendations at any time. Just ask.
Sara Gitkos
Lead Editor and Trainer
Sara is the Lead Trainer/Editor at Android Police, where she helps new talent and newcomers get their sea-legs on the vast ocean of tech journalism. From commerce content to editorials, she’s had a hand in a little bit of everything Android and iOS. In her previous lives, Sara was a tech editor, writer, and trainer at Android Central, iMore, and Windows Central, a College Professor, a freelance writer, and in a moment of insanity, a fashion copywriter. When she’s not buried in an avalanche of articles, Sara is testing out fitness tech, playing whatever’s on her Switch or Xbox Game Pass, or mindlessly filling out a Wordle.
Amy Kaspriskie
Assistant Training Editor
Amy is the Assistant Training Editor at Android Police, where she helps new writers get their start. She uses her keen, thoughtful (sometimes obsessively so) eye to ensure their success as they pen everything from buyer’s guides to how-tos. This editor is no stranger to the tech industry, most recently lending her web-based skillset to Future’s commerce and editorial content for sites like Android Central, Windows Central, and iMore. Amy’s journey to AP has had plenty of stops along the way, where she cut her teeth writing product copy and corporate communications. Whenever she’s not knee-deep in content or singing the Oxford comma’s praises, she spends her free time reading for fun (shocker) and searching for the next great slice of pizza.
Coletta Whitehead
Copy Editor
Coletta is a Copy Editor at Android Police, where she helps writers look their best and makes articles easy to read. She's been teaching people how to use their computers since the days of DOS and has published hundreds of thousands of words since then. She's written dozens of computer books that were read by an international audience, reported on local events for a newspaper on a small tropical island, and added her editorial polish to thousands of web articles. When she doesn't have her head stuck in a computer, you can find her taking long walks in the woods, puttering in her garden, or stitching up some new craft project.
