The 90 Members of the 2006 Board of Experts, who will vote in the awards, are prominent
Web Site editors and webmasters, Microsoft MVPs, support forum contributors, and
Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine and blog contributing editors. Their
qualifications can be found at the awards home page. All are volunteers and none
who vote are employed by Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine. The Board of
Experts cast votes to determine the winners during August. Winners and finalists
are the top vote getters. These experts also submit comments about the software
for publication in 2006 issues of Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine and
they are also available to the nominees.

Executive Editor and Publisher, Hal Goldstein said, “We have been doing this for
6 years, and the nominee’s list is the most comprehensive and accurate list yet.
A big thank you goes to the Board of Experts and the general public who helped
us get the list “right”. Congratulations to the nominees, who are mostly from
small independent companies who have worked so hard to deliver great software to
Windows Mobile users.”
