About Arthur Thornton

Arthur is an 18-year-old webOS fanboy and developer. Arthur's first experience with webOS was in August 2009 when he got a Palm Pre. Since then he's owned many of the webOS phones produced, released several loved apps into the App Catalog, and even held an internship with HP's webOS GBU. Fresh off of that internship, Arthur is back at webOSroundup as a contributor.
