SmallBusinessComputing.com has announced the winners of its 2008 Excellence in Technology Awards, as selected by the small business Internet and IT professionals who make up the site's readership.

The runaway winner in the mobile device category was the iPhone from Apple, followed by Research In Motion's (RIM) Blackberry 8830 World Edition Phone and Palm's Treo 755p. RIM's BlackBerry Pearl won these awards last year.

There's been a whole lot of hoopla about the iPhone ever since its debut, and although it wasn't designed with business in mind, SmallBusinessComputing readers liked it enough to give it the number one spot by a hefty 47 percent. The fact that companies like WebEx are for it is just the beginning of what's to come.

Both the RIM Blackberry 8830 World Edition Phone and the Palm Treo 755p tied for the runner-up position. RIM's dual-mode Smartphone lets you make calls, send messages and receive e-mails worldwide, while the 755p is the first Palm OS Treo to offer built-in e-mail support for Microsoft's Direct Push technology.
