They provide customizable themes and skins, 3rd party gadget integration and are OpenSocial 0.8 compliant and White Labeling ready.

These applications were designed by Impetus' iLabs (Innovation Labs) group which is focused on providing Architecture and Design best practices on a variety of emerging technologies and platforms including REST framework; Web2.0 technologies including AJAX, Open Laszlo, RoR; and mobile technologies including development, porting, and testing on iPhone, Android, BREW, J2ME, WinMobile and Symbian.
