Desktops & Notebooks: eWEEK Labs Finds the Best of Demo 09


There's a netbook with touch-pad capabilities, a Web-based application that automatically pulls in Web links and data relevant to content on a Web site, a security Web service, and a tool that converts enterprise applications for use in the cloud. eWEEK Labs choose these as being among the 10 top products at Demo, which ran March 2 to 4. The list also includes a video monitoring system, a disaster recovery service and an app for flirting via cell phone.
