Microsoft Windows Vista Slideshow Wi-Fi Fridge Magnet
We’ve seen a few gadgets featuring Windows Vista Slideshow functionality, namely the ASUS W5Fe Notebook Series and the Vista Slideshow Media Center Remote, but this Vista Slideshow enabled fridge magnet concept from Ricavision is one of the nicest implementations of Vista’s Slideshow technology that we’ve come across to date.
Featuring a 3.5” QVGA LCD screen, the MK140 FM Fridge Magnet (to give the device its correct name) functions as a Wi-Fi enabled electronic note pad (used via a stylus) with all the standard capabilities of Microsoft’s Slideshow technology built in and is powered by a battery which offers an endurance of at least 16 hours during normal usage and can be recharged via the units very own docking station.
Fridge magnets will never be the same again.
