SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FusionOne, a leading provider of mobile content portability solutions, today announced that it has won a Gold Mobile Star Award™ from MobileVillage®, the 15-year leader in market development and news services about mobile technology.

FusionOne’s MightyBackup has been recognized with the Gold Mobile Star Award in the category of Consumer Software: Data Backup.

“Despite the economic slowdown, recent studies have predicted minimal impact on the mobile and wireless industry,” says MobileVillage Editor Gary Thayer. “People have fallen in love with mobile productivity and entertainment products, and there’s a real desire to discover and share the latest and greatest. This year we had a record 2,300 votes from MobileVillage readers who are eager to share their knowledge. There’s definitely a need for a good consumer data backup product to help people move their content to the latest mobile devices.”
