TravelTechTalk has been covering (and raving about) SugarSync since it was still in beta, and now it seems like I may have been onto something, because the GSMA (an organization that every GSM network is a member of) has selected SugarSync as the top innovator in the "most innovative consumer application or service" category.

Congratulations to everyone at SugarSync!

PALO ALTO, CALIF. (June 10, 2008) – Sharpcast, creators of the popular SugarSync service that combines secure online backup, remote access, mobile synchronization, and online file sharing into one simple solution, was selected as the Top Innovator in the category of Most Innovative Consumer Application or Service, and a Global Semi-Finalist in the Americas leg of the 2009 Mobile Innovation Global Award Competition. The competition took place last week in Atlanta, GA, at the GSMA’s Mobile Innovation Marketplace – Americas, a precursor to next February’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the wireless industry’s most important annual event.

A panel of nine judges consisting of strategists for wireless operators worldwide, venture capitalists and other mobile industry experts chose SugarSync as the best solution for solving a fundamental need for mobile customers: having seamless access to all the content stored on their computers from a mobile phone and wirelessly synchronizing changes made on a mobile phone to their computers.

SugarSync is available for free download with a free 45-day trial at www.sugarsync.com.

Needless to say, if you haven’t already taken Sugarsync for a testdrive, then now is the time! You’ll get 45 days to try it out, and don’t even need a credit card to activate the trial!
