Buck and the OnMobile Top 100 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn's OnMobile event, co-presented with OnMobile Global Ltd., on June 13, 2012, at The Fox Theatre in Redwood City, CA. This two-day executive event features CEO presentations and high-level debates on how the top emerging mobile companies are creating new business opportunities in the hot, high-growth mobile market.

"With the quickly maturing mobile market, opportunities are opening up almost faster than entrepreneurs can respond.  There is no question that mobile is becoming the new norm, with smartphone and tablet penetration increasing exponentially in both consumer and business environments.  App developers are bringing their disruptive skills to the corporate and enterprise world as well, giving scope and purpose to mobile users in the business world," says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "This explosive market is being driven in large part by the companies that made this year's OnMobile Top 100 list. We congratulate the OnMobile 100, companies that our editors believe represent some of the highest-growth opportunities in today's private company marketplace."
