Formotus

Formotus is an angel-backed mobile software startup that has developed a new way for on-the-go workers -- tax assessors, real estate agents and utility meter readers -- to access forms and documents on portable devices.

The startup was founded in 2005 by Joe Verschueren -- a wireless veteran who, before creating ImageX, worked at US West-- and Adriana Neagu -- who, during her 10 years at Microsoft, helped develop the InfoPath technology.

The 25-person company, with contract developers in India and Romania, is unveiling its first product today, called FormoPublish, at the CTIA Wireless conference in Orlando, Fla.

Verschueren says Formotus is utilizing Microsoft's InfoPath electronic forms technology to create "the absolute fastest, easiest, most affordable way that you can deploy data to a wireless device."More:http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/venture/

Fractional Life

With more and more opportunities for leasing and other forms of partial or temporary ownership, it's no surprise that someone decided to create a web portal for 'everything fractional'. British Fractional Life offers consumers an extensive overview of companies that offer asset sharing schemes. The website's categories read like a summary of life's spendy pleasures: from fine wines and racehorses to classic cars and helicopters, all of which are available in shares or time-slots.
As Fractional Life explains, fractional ownership and asset-sharing let consumers get the most out of their investment by purchasing only the shares or time they require, leaving money free for purchasing as many experiences as possible. The portal aims to help consumers make well-informed decisions and find the 'global lifestyle experiences' that best fit their desires.
