Dashwire on Leading Edge of Wireless Technology

[SEATTLE, WA] –May 17, 2010 – Dashwire announced today that it has been named to the annual FierceWireless “Fierce 15” list, designating it as one of the top wireless companies of the year. FierceWireless editors evaluated hundreds of organizations, and found Dashwire to be amongst the “fiercest,” proven by their creativity and innovations in the marketplace.

FierceWireless, an internationally recognized daily email newsletter reaching more than 72,000 senior wireless industry executives, provides executives in over 100 countries with a quick, authoritative briefing on the day's top wireless stories, including new trends and technologies.

As the mobile cloud computing space continues to accelerate, with Apple and Google leading the charge, Dashwire has quietly created a powerful cross-platform alternative for its licensees to quickly bring to market end-to-end, fully customizable cloud-based solutions. With a focus on becoming the trusted source for helping users to get the most out of their mobile phone experiences, Dashwire provides users with industry-leading value throughout the device lifecycle, from data migration and initial phone set-up, to ongoing backup and security of user content, to making it easy to discover all the things out there that make it cool to own a smartphone – without ever having to think about it.

Dashwire takes the user’s phone content – contacts, text messages, calendar events, calls, photos, videos, and phone settings – and seamlessly uploads it from the mobile device to a personal account in the cloud, where users can access and interact with it in powerful ways from an easy-to-use Web interface on any computer.

“Dashwire helps consumers manage their content on their device as well as seamlessly transfer their information from one phone to another,” said Sue Marek, Editor-in-Chief of FierceWireless.

Last fall, Best Buy Mobile became the first licensee to roll-out a Dashwire-powered solution in the form of its award-winning m:IQ service (http://miqlive.com). And as recognized by FierceWireless, 2010 promises to be an exciting year for Dashwire, with new licensees, new mobile clients, and new innovations all on the horizon.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by FierceWireless, the industry’s must-read news leader,” said Ford Davidson, founder and CEO of Dashwire. “The wireless community depends on FierceWireless to provide the most up-to-date news along with analysis of major industry trends. We feel honored to be recognized by such a well-regarded news outlet, and are excited to continue driving momentum with the innovations we’ll be launching later this year with our platform licensees.”

The FierceWireless “Fierce 15” celebrates the spirit of being “fierce” – championing innovation and creativity, even in the face of intense competition. The complete list of winning companies is available on the FierceWireless Web site at http://www.fiercewireless.com.
