At Mobile World Congress back in February I spend a bit of time with Jeb Brilliant, of Brilliant Productions (note to self… ask Jeb if his last name is really Brilliant. After all, he lives in LA. Could be a stage name!)
Anyway, he’s launched a contest — the Top Mobile 20 — which is all about bringing you the best in smart phone software. There are twenty software categories:
- Top all around software
- Top mobile email application
- Top IM application
- Top VOIP application
- Top SMS Application
- Top software from outside the US
- Top navigation (GPS, AGPS, location based services) software
- Top picture handling software
- Top video software
- Top music application
- Top startup without venture capital
- Top mobile game
- Top mobile security software
- Top content aggregator (RSS)
- Top mobile backup and or recovery software
- Top single person company
- Top money saving application
- Top security software
- Top new software (less then 1 year old as of Feb 11, ?08)
- Top free software
If you’re a mobile software developer, enter your application in the contest. It doesn’t cost much to make a submission. And if you’re a smartphone user, check out the web page to see what’s hot in mobile software.
