DEMO Fall 2010 update: Apps, Moblie and Shopping Galore

DEMO is a conference where innovative new companies launch their products and services. This year the DEMO Fall 2010 is in my very own local Silicon Valley. I enjoy covering Fall DEMO to see the selection of new companies launched - and am always delighted when some of them are geared to the family market.

Here is the FAll DEMO 2010 Pearltree that summarizes the companies. Below the Pearltree, I will list some of the companies that are relevant to families and parents (and also some that are just interesting).
