Finally, I've quit my current position - to take a new job as VP R&D at (what I think is) a very promising start-up called PaperLnx.
 
In a nutshell we are going to build few solution in the "physical world connection". What's "phisical world connection" you ask? Well, here's a nice definition from "The Pondering Primate":
"When a display was added to the first mobile phone, a new media was created. Since then, Internet connection and a camera have been added that have created a new way to interact with the physical world.

Soon speech recognition will allow an additional way to browse the physical world too.

Every physical object will have a physical world hyperlink

That means every physical object will allow connection to a designated website and the mobile phone with it's psychical world browser will be able to surf the "real world", the physical one."

As can be expected from the "long tail" curve we are not alone in this space (the link above has a nice list of other companies).  However I think we have a competative edge... :)
