AlwaysOn is proud to introduce the first annual OnMobile 100-the top emerging companies that are transforming big industry and creating viable business models for the mobile marketplace.

The AlwaysOn editorial team, along with partners at Morgan Stanley, DCM, KPMG, Hewlett-Packard, Blackstone Group, Bridge Bank, Norwest Venture Partners, Fenwick & West, Silicon Valley Bank, and industry experts across the globe scoured the entrepreneurial community to identify the top 100 private companies that are pushing aggressively into the mobile space and turning the old smartphone into a must-have connected device as well as creating solutions that will open up the industry and lead to huge value-creation opportunities.

"The mobile market is booming, as evidenced by top researchers, who are predicting that more smartphones will be shipped in 2012 than PCs, and there will be more mobile Internet users than PC Internet users by 2014," says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "This explosive market is being driven by the companies that made this year's OnMobile Top 100 list. We congratulate the OnMobile 100, a great list of companies that our editors believe represent some of the highest-growth opportunities in the private company marketplace."

This year's OnMobile 100 companies are leaders amongst their peers and developing game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to push outside the bounds of existing markets and away from entrenched players. Companies were selected based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

Congratulations to all the 2011 OnMobile 100 winners. As the top venture capital-backed mobile companies continue to disrupt the consumer and enterprise worlds, they're joining forces with the big players and pioneering new mobile devices, applications, and operating system platforms. The OnMobile 100 companies are providing the technology platforms and software services needed to create compelling connected communities in the burgeoning wireless world.

Tony Perkins is the founder and editor of AlwaysOn.
