Jigsaw for Salesforce integrates the Salesforce CRM and Salesforce Chatter experience with Jigsaw’s crowdsourced business data service. Salesforce acquired Jigsaw in April; this is one of the first big developments from that acquisition.

Jigsaw is a great tool for salespeople, marketers and biz-dev teams. It addresses one of the biggest pain points for many sales departments: incorrect or incomplete business data.

A few things about the Android.  I recently picked up an HTC Incredible and love it.  Android is a quickly growing mobile platform.  Here are a few things that you can play with for Android and salesforce.com:

Mintfly.com:  Currently, salesforce does not yet have an Android app for accessing salesforce.com.  One of my friends wrote this application.  Seems to work well, but I am anticipating the full sfdc release.  You can pick it up here

Chatter for Android:  This was part of a contest put on by salesforce for developers.  You can Install the application here.  It is not available on the Android market yet.

Lastly, vote for salesforce.com on Android
