New Gadgets

The idea of folding keyboards is already quite old; the idea of a folding gadget MID – a little new, but it is quite possible that in future it would be realized. And the word «folding» in this case does not necessarily imply to folding the two halves, like with modern mobile phones.

The concept that we offer, is embodied by Edward Ballisterom, Doctor of Science, working in close collaboration with Intel. MID announced that Dragonfly can be folded four times, and fit in your pocket, but when expanded it will become a notebook.

The gadget will work on the basis of Moorestown chip from Intel, a major operating system called Windows XP. But the installation of two systems (one of which will be Linux) is also possible.

Scientist argues that he plans to install the gadget in two-LCD displays with LED backlighting, but it will have to be postponed until the next-generation devices. But the battery, with which the gadget will “live” all day, is ready, because the release of the first devices is scheduled by the end of the year.

Of course, Mr Ballistera can be seriously wrong, considering the facts that the manufacturer of Dragonfly have not yet been defined (and certainly not named), and a developer cannot yet demonstrate a working prototype. Nevertheless, working on such an idea is worth our attention.
