Andrew Thomas is the founder of IT firm Thomas Duryea Consulting, one of the most successful firms of its kind in Australia turning over $50 million. Thomas last year also won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award for the southern region.
Thomas says his favourite gadget is the iPad 2, allowing him to keep up-to-date with a number of different tasks – email, news and eBooks – on the move.
“My favourite piece of consumer tech at the moment is my iPad 2. I love the device and use it for everything from email and web, through corporate apps, and on to news and eBook reading.”
“Easily my most used app is Pulse. I’ve got it streaming exactly the news I’m interested in and I get an incredibly broad update in minutes whenever and wherever I get a spare second.”
“This month I’ve been on a safari dirt bike in the Western Australia desert. I’ve covered over 2,500 gruelling kilometres and have been using all my gadgets to stay in contact with my ventures back in civilisation.”
