Cherry Mobile has been bold this year by releasing Windows-OS based unit 2nd quarter of the year 2010, and then an Android OS powered mobile phone and tablet.

Giro Apps is founded by 2 lawyers, Yves Gonzales and Laura Noel. Yves Gonzales is also the head of MMDA Communications Group and Technology Head.

Augusto 'Gus' C. Lagman is one of the people behind The Movement for Good Governance.

I just want to comment as to why they chose to give the IT Product of the Year award to iPad. I mean no question about how wonderful iPad is, but wouldn't it be more fitting to give it to Cherry Mobile's Android tablet since they chose it to be the Company of the Year, and it's also a Filipino brand.
