WASHINGTON, April 23, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- FierceWireless (http://www.fiercewireless.com) announced today its annual "Fierce 15" list of the top privately held wireless companies of 2007. This year's winners are young, cutting-edge businesses whose innovative wireless technologies and applications are redefining the industry. Some of this year's innovations include a GPS navigation system for mobile phones, a one-stop shop for mobile advertising, and a smaller, cheaper, possibly more consumer-friendly version of the touch screen music phone.
