Mobile World Congress announced the winners of the various yearly awards. Everything from phones, to apps, to networks, and a bunch of other things no one except the real mobile geeks cares about. Among the most interesting awards:

• Best Mobile App - Angry Birds
• Best Mobile Device - Apple iPhone 4
• Device Manufacture of the Year - HTC

What is a little bit telling about the ecosystems of each of the major smartphone platforms, is that Apple was the only platform where a third party developer won "App of the Year" in that category:

• iOS - Angry Birds (Rovio)
• Android - Google Maps
• Blackberry - BlackBerry Messenger (RIM)

While Google Maps on Android is quite possibly the best mapping program on any mobile platform, it's sad that that was the best Android could come up. with As far as BlackBerry goes, if the built in messenger is the most interesting thing about it... it's not even worth insulting. A complete list of awards is available at the GSMA website.
