DEMO says: Nothing takes the thrill out of new mobile phone than the tedious
task of re-entering your most important phone contacts into the
phone’s address book. And as the mobile phone becomes the
ubiquitous communications and data device, it ought to be the
repository for more than just phone numbers. Vazu is addressing
both issues in the service it quietly launched over the summer
and the exciting applications it introduces here this week. Both
make it extremely simple to move data onto a mobile phone,
and ensure that data is backed up, lest the phone be lost. These
applications are so useful that Vazu is sure to be on every busi-ness
person’s phone in very short order.
Market Outlook: Web users make more than 1B business or residential directory
searches per year, at 15 cents per query. Most Web users own
mobile phones (more 1.4B subscribers worldwide today) and
must manually thumb-in the desired contact information on their
phones. With Vazu, users mobilize their data with just one click.
Funding: Angel-funded, privately held.
Competitors: No direct competitors.
