Greentomato Named 2011 Technology Company Of The Year

Online, August 30, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Leading mobile solutions consultancy and creator of the No. #1 hit smartphone app - TalkBox Voice Messenger, Hong Kong-based GreenTomato Limited has been named this year's Technology Company of the Year in the 2011 Computerworld Hong Kong Annual Awards.

Acknowledged as one of Asia's most coveted awards, the top Computerworld Hong Kong honor recognises companies whose products and services have made an outstanding contribution to the IT industry with winners selected by the publication's own editorial experts. The award was presented to Sunny Kok, CEO of Green Tomato at a ceremony held on June 23rd at The Marriot Hotel in Hong Kong. Former winners of Technology Company of the Year include PCCW, NetDimensions and Outblaze

"We are, of course, delighted to be honoured with this award," said Green Tomato CEO, Sunny Kok. "To be a 100% 'made in Hong Kong' tech company is not easy so it is fantastic that our passion and talent for innovation has been recognised in this way."

A pioneer in Hong Kong's booming app development industry, GreenTomato has developed over 100 iPhone apps and 150 WAP services since the company was established in 2003. Following the success in 2009 of its pioneering app - Hong Kong Movie, the launch in early 2011 of the ground-breaking TalkBox Voice Messenger app and its meteoric rise to No #1 most downloaded app in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and Israel, have served only to cement GreenTomato's position as a major mobile developer.

As well as offering multi-national clients from across Asia and the Middle East including Pizza Hut, BMW, CSL and 7eleven, innovative and creative mobile solutions, content, games, communities and applications that enhance and grow their presence in the mobile space, the company's own R&D team's 'Farm' branded portfolio of apps is currently being developed further with new releases poised for later in this year.
