Daily Wireless is BY FAR one of the best wireless blogs out there. I am EXTREMELY surprised that it has not been recognized.
For anyone who has not seen it, check out dailywireless.org. You will not be disappointed.

dailywireless.org is one of the best. IMHO, this top 20 list is questionable.

Good shortlist!
Just curious, could you publish the whole list (not just the top-20) and the number of votes for each blog?

There are always going to be cry babies who's blog, or friend's blog didn't make the list.

They will be named shortly. Random Winner #1 has been contacted--but hasn't responded to our email. If we don't hear back from them in a week, we will pick a Random Winner #2.

This is indeed a nice list. And while I have no disagreement with the sites there, I would like to know if Fierce will be looking towards other types of favorite mobile content sites. If you will this is a general list, and then creating one that is specific to areas of interest/technology/etc.? That would also do well to showing those who are not mobile that there is a nice depth to mobile content, that is not always repeated on other websites.

Great list. I'm always looking for sites to check out. I agree with most of the sites listed.

Looks like my math is still working :p
I added Daily Wireless to my feed, because of all the support the site received here, but I have to say that,I disagree with you guys, because, firstly they seem to mostly pick up from GigaOm, and secondly, their feed doesn't work too well!
I could be wrong!
;)

Very useful rapidshare search. It includes over 4 000 000 files. Loadingvault.com is a best search engine designed to search files in various file sharing and uploading sites.
You can find the files shared on uploading sites that the other crawlers miss.
Loadingvault.com provides relevant search results.
Loadingvault.com will definitely make it easy for you to search rapidshare files instead of using complex Google operators.
Try Loadingvault.com in my opinion the best rapidshare search engine ever. \
