Panel 5330: Power Challenge in Mobile Devices
Moderator: Paul O'Shea, Editor, PowerManagementDesignLine.com, CMP

Starting out his career in the "Live Music Capital" city of Austin, Texas more than 20 years ago, Paul began with testing the Texas Instruments Business Systems, and moved on to author several technical manuals for these mini computers. Personal growth and new challenges led to a move to the more tropical environs of Florida where he provided technical support for the TI sales staff in the southeast.
However, the call to writing was too strong and Paul found himself creating technical manuals for software and hardware companies located in the Sunshine State. One of those writing jobs led him to the west coast of Florida where he still resides today. You may have seen some of his articles in the prestigious EE-Evaluation Engineering magazine, where he wrote for a span of nine years.
His first opportunity to write for the Internet world was at VerticalNet's Test and Measurement site, where he was Managing editor. Most recently, Paul was Senior Technical Editor, for the Analog, and RF/Microwave sites for CMP's eeProductCenter.
