Did you ever wonder what is going on in the mobile startup scene in Germany?
I crawled through the German web and - besides noticing and wondering how many new mom&dad, sport and pet communities we have - collected a decent list of mobile startups.
If you know a company that is missing please add it in the comments. I will keep an eye on any new startups and follow up on this in the future.
