New Computers on the Market

When you're ready to retire your Dell Laptop and move on to something else, you might want to think about two of the latest computers being sold.

Oh wait, that's a picture of some pens.....Or is it?

 

Actually, those 'pens' are pocket sized computers that unfold (you can buy the stand separately), and display both a wireless laser keyboard and monitor on any flat surface.  Lots of hard drive space, wireless and Bluetooth, a web cam, and it fits in your pocket. And if you don't have a wall nearby (maybe you're camping), any cardboard box, piece of plywood, or shirt hung over a branch becomes an instant monitor.  

Right now, they are around $800, but like all technology, the price will come down as more companies figure out how to make them.

Another new computer looks like it can also be used as a pillow or yoga mat.  Introducing the Roll Me:

 

Made of rubber-like material, the Roll Me does just that. You can even swat flies with it. As you can see from the icons on the left of the picture, it also has all the goodies of today's computers, without the weight and with extra portability.  Uses both a battery and plug, the Roll Me protects all of its circuits, so even a bit of rain isn't going to ruin it.

 Finally, I wrote a short post a while back about Samsung's new cell phone with a laser projected keyboard.  You can read the post here.
