I attended WISH 2009 on Friday, a newly launched web industry event offering fourteen Japanese startups the chance to demo their wares onstage to a panel of judges and an audience of 400 people. The event was held in Tokyo and organized by online marketing company Agile Media Network (Japan's answer to Federated Media).A service called Joker Racer emerged as the big winner of the evening, but the other presentations weren't too shabby either, with some of them earning special jury awards from various Japanese media. A good number of the fourteen services are available in English (or will be soon). Here's a rundown on all of the companies that presented at WISH 2009:Joker Racer (Winner: Grand Prix and Agile Media Network Award)Joker Racer lets you remote-control model cars via your browser window, from anywhere in the world and in real-time. The Linux-powered and Wi-Fi-enabled model cars are equipped with GPS, a mini Linux server and a web cam mounted on top of them. It will even be possible to control the cars with the iPhone.
