During the seventh annual Handango Partner Summit in San Diego, Spb Software House was awarded the Best Evolution Application and the Best Entertainment Application awards, as well as the Developer of the Year title in the Windows Mobile Pocket PC category. Spb Software House had previously been named the Developer of the Year by Handango in 2003 and 2006.

"Aside from the pleasure of getting prestigious recognition, the summit gave us a brilliant opportunity to hold intimate discussions and mingle with the world’s leading players in the mobility realm," said Sebastian-Justus Schmidt, Spb Software House CEO – "We all agreed that the portrait of a typical mobile content user is changing forever: we envisage that our traditional, high-tech category of users will stay put, but there will be a lot of ‘fresh blood’ coming from the business users and the social communicators as well.  And our leading position on the mobile content market compels us to already start the process of adjusting the services and products to the expectations of our new user groups; when they come, we have to be ready to give them a warm welcome."

Handango, the summit organizer, brought together some of the mobile industry’s top content providers, wireless carries, platform vendors and handset manufacturers to hobnob on the latest mobile market trends, factors and changes.

Don’t forget that SBSH PocketBreeze won the Best Life Managemen award! :D
SBSH’s apps take less memory, I keep hearing that quite often lately.

That’s a good and deserved win for Pocket Breeze. I don’t know if it’s fair to say SBSH apps use less memory across the board though. Spb Pocket Plus is the only one of the Spb titles where a resource hit was obvious to me. Overall, I’d say both SBSH and Spb produce a good range of blue-chip programs :)

Hey, SPM. No fair diverting attention from Spb to SBSH. :)

Seriously, I have also used a lot of programs from both companies and have been very impressed with both of them.

Javing used Pocket PLus, iLauncher, Mobile Shell, Diary and many many others, I can honestly say that both companies offer some excellent alternatives and which one you select, in my opinion, comes down mostly to personaly preference. I have switched back and forth between Diary and Pocket Breeze several times.

Congrats to both! I happily use both products, and they each push each other regularly, which only benefits the industry, and the users like us.

Actually, what I meant was that I use a number of each companies products. And, often have both companies competing products on my machine at the same time. Hard to choose which I prefer from day to day.

xdalaw – well said, think a lot of us are in that same boat …

I totally agree, XDA. Like I said, for me a lot of times it comes down to just which one fits what I am trying to do.

Although I am still waiting for SBSH to come out with a challenger or Mobile Shell. :)

Hmm. This award comes from Handango, which always features three or four Spb programs on its front page. It may be good PR for Spb, but Handango probably gets a nice cut off their sales boost. Just a little too much conflict of interest here for me to take it totally seriously.

I’m pretty sure I heard a comment from someone in september/october about another Spb app that was being a memory hog, but sometimes these things happen in specific cases to individual persons without being a ‘general bug’.

Of course Spb and SBSH make similar software, and Spb makes more, so that would probably explain part of why they’re more popular. And their advertising also counts, of course. But I feel I’m repeating myself, I remember typing exactly this only a couple of weeks ago :rolleyes:

Congratulations for a very well deserved award!

The award looks a no-brainer to me, as there is no other developer that comes anywhere close to Spb in the number of products they produce (they have at least 15 titles, excluding games). Moreover, almost all of their titles are very high quality (being the best or near best in their categories).

They make some apps that I consider essential, Mobile Shell, Pocket plus, Backup.

Well deserved awards
