MightyBackup - Top Mobile Applications 2008

MightyBackup

Company: FusionOne

Why It's a Top App: MightyBackup is the mobile application that other mobile apps are lost without. FusionOne's mobile data backup solution restores both user-generated content and licensed premium content in the event a handset is lost, stolen or replaced, enabling consumers to efficiently migrate contacts, photos, ringtones, games and other applications to a new device. The company says roughly 40 percent of downloaded applications are subscription-based, resulting in recurring revenue losses for content providers if consumers don't repurchase those apps for their new device. MightyBackup's secure data server compiles and updates a shadow list of all licensed content stored on a mobile device, and when a user upgrades to a new handset, the solution automatically assembles a menu of previously licensed content, enabling the user to select items they wish to reacquire--the app also determines the correct content format for each device. So whether it's photos of your newborn child or that Lil Wayne ringtone you downloaded last week, don't worry about it--MightyBackup has you covered, usually for about $2.00 a month per subscriber.
