Awards honor breakthrough mobile products that make life easier.

NEW YORK, NY – December 18, 2007: LAPTOP–Mobile Solutions for Business & Life today announced the winners of its fourth annual Mobile Innovation Awards. The awards recognize breakthroughs in mobile technology both in terms of design and functionality. The 2007 award- winners are all products that allow consumers to do exciting things on the go without a big learning curve. From a $399 2-pound notebook with an intuitive tab-based interface to a music player that delivers free music over Wi-Fi, these innovations redefine their respective categories.

“We’re pleased to honor those companies whose products are not only easy to use but make the lives of consumers easier,” said Mark Spoonauer, LAPTOP’s Editor in Chief. “Today, consumers are much less concerned with speeds and feeds and more interested in gear that will save them time,” he said.

The winners are featured in the January issue of LAPTOP, which hits newsstands today, and on http://laptopmag.com/Features/Mobile-Innovation-Awards-2007.htm. The issue also previews some of the most promising innovations on the horizon, including Google’s Android platform for cell phones, Sprint’s Mobile WiMax network, and amazing prototypes, such as 3D cameras and laptops made of fabric.
