Pocket-lint is a technology news website[3] operated by Valnet Inc. It publishes news, features, interviews, guides, and reviews, with a focus on what's trending across technology, entertainment, and online culture.
History[edit]
Origins[edit]
Pocket-lint was founded in 2003 by Stuart Miles,[4] with the vision of entertaining and informing consumers about technology that matters.[5] It has expanded its coverage over the years to include a wide range of topics related to core consumer technology, such as apps,[6] games,[7]and movies.[8]
Present Day[edit]
In July 2022, Pocket-lint was acquired by Montreal-based Valnet Inc.,[9] a move that was seen as a positive step toward further growth and development for the website.
Today, Pocket-lint is known for its authoritative content in consumer tech and entertainment. The editorial team consists of industry experts, such as Devices lead editor Jason Cipriani,[10] A/V lead editor Christina Darby,[11] and Lifestyle lead editor Igor Bonifacic,[12] who previously worked at CNET,[13] ZDNET,[14] Engadget, and other tech websites.[15] Pocket-lint's affiliation with the Trust Project[16] underscores the team's commitment to transparency and editorial integrity.
Pocket-lint is part of Valnet Inc.'s Consumer Tech [17]portfolio, which also includes Android Police and XDA.
