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.

A Vista powered fridge magnet. Our world is now complete!
* I thought magnets and computers didn’t mix well?

I must admit, I was skeptical of Vista’s Slideshow at first, but with products like this coming out I’m warming to it.
Good point about magnets and computers not mixing – must be some serious installation there.
[Reply]
Wow – being from Perth fridge magnets magnets and computers all rolled into one will be pretty costly for 10,000. I can see the unique idea of this but cost – will it every take off? Meantime, if you need standard fridge magnets, forget Microsoft and stick to you local printer for now!

Agreed, its not cheap, but the price will fall in time and, from a gadget perspective at least, its an exciting piece of kit.
