Concept Gadgets in 2009: The See-Through Internet Tablet

There are many gadgets around to choose from at the moment, some are very useful, others are more gimmicky but from looking at the gadgets coming out, the technology that is emerging is fascinating and very impressive.

Take for example the Polaroid Pogo that has quite recently come out, this gadget allows users to connect the gadget wirelessly via Bluetooth to their mobile phone or computer for example and then to print out any photographs that they have saved. The Pogo prints the pictures onto credit card sized pieces of paper, which can also act as stickers, using laser technology. As well as this being cost effective it also means that you won’t have to be constantly refilling ink cartridges.

It is amazing to think that Polaroid came out with the first instant camera in 1947 and is still re-inventing it to this day. However, the Polaroid Pogo is out now and you could go shopping tomorrow and buy one but there are many more ideas that may not be in the shops yet but that are non-the-less still very impressive and could be more than just concepts sooner than you may think.

One such design is for a very impressive internet tablet that will have; a touch-screen, scanner, built in camera, WiFi, Google Maps, Google Search and Image Search. When using Image Search on this device, you will be able to hold up the device to a building and get an image search result straight away.

Using Image Search, you can even locate a building, touch a floor and then get a lot more information on the building and also that particular floor. However, it isn’t just buildings that you can find out more about, you can search for a variety of things, including; car models, the type of food served at a restaurant, names of insects and even information such as; who built a certain bridge.

On top of all of this, the internet tablet allows you to use the scanner to check the meaning of words in a book, magazine or newspaper article. Theses features are all very useful and would no doubt appeal to a variety of different people in different lines of work.

This device is still only a concept but if you are in search of a new internet enabled device it may be worth your while shopping online and comparing the prices of different laptops or netbooks.




The Polaroid Pogo is available to buy at the moment and you go out shopping tomorrow to buy one, unfortunately, the see-through internet tablet is still just a concept.

If you are looking for a new internet enabled device now, it may be worth shopping online for offers on laptops and netbooks.
