MightyMeeting becomes one of the first software offerings to support the new HP TouchPad. The vendor offers free and low-cost screen-sharing instant meeting service and competes with a crowded market of other low or no-cost screensharing services, include Mikogo.com, Join.Me, Twiddla.com and Vyew.com.

FuzeBox wants to make telepresence a less proprietary, boxed-in experience for businesses. To do this, they've begun integrating Fuze Meeting, their cross-platform online meeting product, with high-end telepresence systems like Polycom, Tandberg and LifeSize.

This move lets companies hang onto their legacy teleconference solutions while easily extending their functionality onto smart phones and tablet devices.

Whether you meet with colleagues in person or from remote locations, there's still a need to keep an accurate record of what was discussed and what next actions are required. You could go the old school, pen-and-paper route, but those notes will still need to be typed up and shared with colleagues.

To simply the process, you might want to try minutes.io, a Web app that lets you take meeting minutes online and easily share them with others.

Here's a confession: when I'm about to go into a meeting or a conference call, I often get that "wait, what are we talking about again?" feeling. I don't mean to be unprepared, I really don't. In the final minutes before a meeting, I do try to prep, which often means searching through my mobile phone, trying to pull various threads and thoughts together. There. Now you know.

So enter Noteleaf which addresses this problem quite simply. You get a text message prior to your meeting, with a link that pulls up background information about the person with whom you're meeting.

Google officially unveiled Honeycomb - version 3.0 of its Android operating system - earlier today, and there are already tablet-optimized business apps lined up for the brand new OS.

Of course, apps designed for previous versions of Android should work just fine in Honeycomb, so current users won't lose their favorite productivity tools. Here are a few tablet-specific apps just announced today.

Online meeting service Fuze Meeting just released a new version of its iPad app, which now offers the ability to host webinars from the device.

We took at look at the Fuze Meeting app alongside three other iPad meeting apps a few months back and were quite impressed with it. Despite being the newest entrant to this space, Fuze was the first online meeting service to enable users to schedule and host meetings from the device itself (rather than simply attend meetings scheduled from the desktop). It also got a head start on the Android tablet space, offering the first meeting app for that platform in November.

Meetings are a waste of time. OK, maybe not all meetings. But we've all sat idly by in a pointless meeting that wastes our time and drags on and on in different directions. Various attempts have been made in recent years to fix meetings: from Open Space Technology to stand-up meetings. Entire books have been written on the subject. Meetzi is a simple SaaS meeting manager and timer designed to make meetings quicker and more productive.

A few weeks back, we rounded up four ways to attend meetings on an iPad and more recently our own Klint Finley wrote about how iPads are being used in the enterprise. Without a doubt, Apple's wildly popular tablet device is finding its own niches to fill within businesses both big and small, a topic we'll be covering in more depth in the future here on ReadWriteBiz.

While they seem to have a monopoly on buzz, Apple is far from the only player in the tablet space. If the pace at which Android has managed to mount a real challenge to iPhone and RIM in the smart phone market is any indication, the Android-based tablets just now arriving on the market may well start chipping away at the iPad's 95% tablet market share before long.

Despite the availability of efficient online scheduling tools, professionals burn up nearly five hours per week scheduling meetings, according to a study commissioned by Doodle, a company that makes one of those Web-based tools.

By the time the year ends, many have spent the cumulative equivalent of six weeks scheduling meetings, and that doesn't include time spent attending them.

Citrix announced today that users of its GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar and GoToTraining products will soon get HD video conferencing at no extra cost. The new technology, which they're calling HDFaces, was unveiled today at the Citrix Synergy event held in Berlin, Germany.

HDFaces allows up to six participants to join a video conference in resolutions as high as 1920p x 960p. Attendees can view the presenter's screen and see each other in high definition, making the experience a bit closer to a real, face-to-face meeting.
