About Greengart.comA Short History of Greengart.com
Ancient HistoryBack at the turn of the millennium, Avi was a Senior Marketing Manager at Intel. Great company, but the product line he was working on was rather dull (no offense to the computer telephony industry, but let's be honest -- voice mail is what it is). Avi launched Greengart.com in 2001 to promote his consumer electronics expertise. After leaving Intel in 2002, he briefly offered consumer electronics marketing services; the almost weekly AskAvi columns posted then were a way of demonstrating subject knowledge -- a "free sample."
Less Ancient HistoryThat quickly turned into a full time position as an Analyst (and later, Senior Analyst) for JupiterResearch, where he was the lead wireless analyst. While at Jupiter, Avi also launched the industry's first Home Theater research coverage area. In the fall of 2004, Avi left JupiterResearch and joined Current Analysis as the Principal Analyst for Mobile Devices. As such, most coverage of wireless phones, converged gizmos, and portable electronics will no longer appear on greengart.com, but members of the press are encouraged to contact Avi for quotes and commentary. Please note that Avi is based in the New York/New Jersey area and is available for meetings and briefings in Manhattan.
In October 2004, Avi launched Home Theater View (http://www.hometheaterview.com), a home theater site containing news, analysis, and product reviews for home theater and digital entertainment. Avi was planning to continue writing for Secrets of Home Theater Magazine, but hasn't actually submitted anything to be published in a long, long time.
Greengart.com was knocked offline for several months in late 2005 by a massive server failure at its web host. After switching hosts and a lot of work, it was brought back from the dead in early 2006. New features such as the Current Analysis Spotlight page have since been added.
And Now We Peer Into THE FUTUREEverything converges and gets smaller and more connected. But moon colonies and flying cars are still Tomorrowland exhibits at EPCOT Center. Thanks for reading,
