[DEMO Spring 2010] I love Gwabbit, the add-on for outlook and BlackBerry that allows me to gather a person’s contact info from the mail signature in one visit. Last week at DEMO, the company launched its new service Gwab-o-sphere, and won the Cloud session DEMOGod. The new web application automatically receives contacts from gwabbit contact capture products, and next syncs with other contact management applications and social networks like Salesforce.com, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

The gwab-o-sphere will be available in Q2 2010 free of charge to all gwabbit users, including gwabbit for Outlook and the Premium and free versions of gwabbit for BlackBerry, and can be downloaded from www.gwabbit.com or BlackBerry App World.

As its name indicated, the application connects to your Google explanation and syncs files in popular formats like PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Jpg etc (all the formats natively supported by the iPad OS). Once the files are on the iPad, they can be looked at in all their glory. The viewing demo was working flawlessly – check the video in the extended post.

You won’t be able to edit the documents, but that’s in line with our assessment that the iPad is primarily a media consuming device, even whether can be used for casual updates. Memeo Connect Reader provides a different access to your documents stored in Google Apps and considering it’s free, there’s really no reason not to try it (the app has been approved by Apple already). whether you did not know, Memeo additionally has a suite of software that can supply the same functionalities (and more!) to computers.

Flinc needs help to decide where to launch first, go to www.flinc.mobi, look for our Where’s flinc project, choose a place on the map where you want to see flinc and share a seat in your car or someone elses.

I have already seen a dynamic ridesharing system at DEMOFall 08: Avego by Mapflow, a company based in Ireland. Flinc comes from Germany, and I will ask them how they compare to their Irish competitor.
