Goodbye desktop, laptop and keyboard!


It's been awhile since I had time to post anything on the site, being swamped with projects and trying to keep up with new technology. A friend sent these intriguing photos of a new computer being developed in Japan.

In the race for a more compact computers, scientists have made great strides with Bluetooth technology and miniaturization. Looks like you could carry this computer in your pocket, except I seem to always lose pens.

This "pen-like" device produces both the monitor as well as the keyboard on any flat surfaces where you can work you would normally do on your desktop computer.

I saw some of this technology awhile a go in a presentation from Microsoft Research. Amazing how far it's progressed. Probably won't see it at Best Buy tomorrow, but we seem to be heading in a very interesting direction.

Looks like it plays well with other devices too.
