There are only two downsides to putting on events. They&#8217;re relatively small (reaching hundreds of people rather than thousands, the way we can online), and pretty soon, they&#8217;re over.<\/p>\n<p>To counteract those two facts this time around, we&#8217;re pleased to bring you the Mobile Madness Innovation Showcase, an illustrated catalog of many of the companies whose executives will be participating in tomorrow&#8217;s forum, plus a few more. The list includes some of the newest and coolest mobile companies in New England, as well as one special guest from way out of town (Ottawa, Ontario-based bitHeads). We&#8217;re proud to have sponsorship for this online showcase, as well as the live Mobile Showcase at Mobile Madness along with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apperian.com\/\">Apperian<\/a>, from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.att.com\">AT&amp;T<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The descriptions below were supplied by the companies themselves, with slight editing for length. This showcase is meant to be a permanent resource, and we&#8217;ll continue to add to it even after Mobile Madness&#8212;so if you&#8217;d like us to include your New England-based mobile company free of charge, just write to Erin Kutz at ekutz@xconomy.com. (We need your company name, your location, your URL, the year you were founded, a 100-word description, a graphic or screenshot, and&#8212;optionally&#8212;the names of your investors.)<\/p>\n<p>Quick
