San Francisco-based Daemonic Labs went old-school, demonstrating its Dabble application for creating digital postcards with the iPhone camera. After taking a picture, users create a card, add text and then pin the image on a map that can be shared with other Dabble users. In essence, the app lets people create and share photo journals.
While the app seemed to work well enough, observers questioned whether the features were enough to make Dabble stand out. "I find this notion about (saving) memories a little blurry," said panelist Claire Lee, head of the emerging business team at Microsoft. "There are a lot of people trying to do it."
