DEMOmobile doesn't deliver

The exclusive DEMOmobile tech conference, where 40 startups get to show off their wares to investors and industry suits, is supposed to be the place to catch a glimpse of the real cutting edge wireless stuff we'll all be sweating over 12 months from now, but are we the only ones yawning at what's on display this year? A "system for sending contact information from Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail to cell phones"? A way to send photos from a cameraphone with a single click? A company that promises to research price info if you email them a picture of an ad you saw in a newspaper or magazine? Yet another company trying to sell digital downloads of sports and news to people with MP3 players? C'mon, at least one of the other 36 companies exhibiting has to have something worth writing home about.
