Tell us a bit about yourself?
My name is Gil Bouhnick, I’m 33 years old and I’m currently a Product & Engineering Group Manager at ClickSoftware. In my spare time I develop some Windows Mobile freewares (SpoonTools) as well as writing in my blog The Mobile Spoon and other sites as well.

Tell us a bit about SpoonTools?
I actually never planned to create SpoonTools. It all started as some personal tools I built for myself. I needed a quick easy way to personalize ringtones (SpoonRing), I looked for a way to write notes quickly using the stylus, and of course, the SpoonAlarm: I tried using the default WinMo alarm, but after I missed a few wake up calls, I decided I need a better alarm with real snooze and louder sounds, so I created an alarm fits exactly my needs: simple to configure, finger friendly, with MP3 and snooze.
Some of my friends started using it as well, and suggested that I should place it on a website. This is how it started.
I was amazed to see how fast it became popular. I reached more than 50,000 downloads in few months, without counting the downloads made from sites that took the CAB files in their own servers.
