Nowadays it seems like Pakistan is the place to be to open an offshore office for US tech startups.

Orgoo integrates all your emails, IMs, video conferencing tools in one place. Its meebo, outlook, skype all wrapped into one. The product is in private beta, you can go to the site and sign up for it and see if you get lucky.
Jehan has profiled the 11 person startup on her blog here:
