When the GSM Association – sponsors of next week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona – hands out awards, it splits the world into four regions, presenting top prizes to the world’s best cellphone technologies and applications made by companies that hail from each region. Two companies are chosen from each region – the Americas (North and South), Asia Pacific (India, Korea, Singapore, etc.), EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) – and Israel.

That’s right: Keyboards are an important part of the tech revolution, too, and deserve to be recognized for their role.
