FusionOne Wins Two Mobile Star Awards

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- FusionOne, the established leader in mobile content portability, is pleased to announce that its Network Address Book and MightyBackup solutions were honored in the eighth annual Mobile Star Awards™ program, hosted by mobile technology news portal MobileVillage.com.

FusionOne was recognized in the following categories:

• Network Address Book won the Superstar Award in the category Consumer App: Social Networking Utility
• MightyBackup won the Shining Star Award in the category Consumer App: Cloud Services/Content Sync

The Mobile Star Awards program showcases "best of" entries in dozens of categories including mobile apps, enterprise mobile software, wireless network products, enterprise success stories, mobile industry visionaries, and more. Winners were chosen by subscribers of MobileVillage's "Go Mobile™" – a free e-newsletter that delivers headlines and links from top mobile technology stories on popular websites, such as CNET, Engadget, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Computerworld, AppScout and others.

"Because 'Go Mobile' readers are the industry's most savvy mobile business users, Mobile Star Awards winners can claim they are the users' choice," says Jon Covington, MobileVillage founder and president. "Winners are chosen by real users based on real results, not hype. Brand new mobile services competed on equal footing with well-established solutions, and both nominees and winners are respected in the mobile industry as the new leaders to watch."

"We are pleased to have two of our flagship products honored by MobileVillage," said Mohan Sadashiva, senior vice president of marketing at FusionOne. "These awards are especially meaningful in that they reflect the overall strength of our major product offerings."

In its citing for the Superstar Award for Network Address Book, the Mobile Star Awards stated that "currently, most people have many different address books: their email accounts, their mobile phone, and on 'friends lists' on their social networks. Up until now, they had to manage and edit all of these lists individually. With FusionOne Network Address Book, they can now organize and manage all of their address books through a single interface and share their contacts across their different address books and social networks.

"The FusionOne Network Address Book automatically keeps contacts up-to-date across a user's connected applications and devices. In turn, operators can now increase customer satisfaction and usability, and reduce churn by simplifying their subscribers' contact management tasks and communication exchanges."

For MightyBackup, the Mobile Star Awards stated that "With FusionOne's MightyBackup, mobile phone content such as contacts, photos and purchased content can be safely stored and transferred at the touch of a button. MightyBackup also gives users the capability to manage their stored content via an online web interface and if necessary, remotely purge content from lost phones to keep personal information secure."

Both products are built as part of the FusionOne Services Platform, FusionOne's patented sync technology. FusionOne products, including MightyBackup, have protected more than 1.5 billion phone contacts.
