It&#8217;s a tiny projector, about the size of a keychain fob, that plugs into a cell phone or PDA and projects an 11&#8221; X 17&#8221; image on a wall or screen. <a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gillin.com\/uploaded_images\/Digismart_with_cell_phone-765342.jpg\"><img style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 160px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gillin.com\/uploaded_images\/Digismart_with_cell_phone-763141.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>It runs off the power supply of the handheld device and basically lets you take your presentations on the road with you without the hassle of lugging a portable projector. This is still very early-stage technology; the Australian company hopes to ship it this year and doesn&#8217;t even have a projected price. It also isn&#8217;t yet effective beyond the 11&#8221; X 17&#8221; size. But if Digislide can make this technology work, everyone&#8217;s going to want it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.interprisesuite.com\/Global\/Company\/AboutUs.aspx\">Interprise Solutions USA, LLC&#8217;s Interprise Suite<\/a> &#8211; I didn&#8217;t think the world needed another ERP suite, but Interprise thinks it&#8217;s got a winner in a fully integrated and internationalized ERP\/CRM suite for small business. And it has 1,300 beta sites to prove it. Pricing will be in the $5,000 range for five users.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sproutit.com\">Sprout Systems, Inc.&#8217;s Sproutit Mailroom<\/a> &#8211; The first in a planned suite to SMB productivity tools from this El Cajon, CA-based startup is Sproutit Mailroom, a flexible e-mail management tool that allows users to automatically categorize, route and respond to e-mail messages based on a set of rules. Enterprise products are available with the same functionality but Sprout is focused on SMB organizations that are drowning in e-mail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given all the lip service being given to the small\/medium business market, I was surprised there weren&#8217;t more products targeting those users.
