I'm lost for words, I want it all!

Maybe I'm alone on this, but I'm really sick of concept art as a medium for marketing tech. When car companies make a concept, they actually make something. Not only does this give the public a little more taste of what's to come, it also helps the car companies create better cars and solve engineering problems. It's a learning exercise as well as a marketing exercise.

I think computer companies should be held to the same standard; if you want to envision the future, don't just get some intern photochopper to whip up some cool looking drawings, create a prototype.

So, dual sided screen tablet, no button key board, no mouse track pad,(left & right clickers though) no DVD, flash drive movies...via bluetooth 8.3...along with wireless power?

I want that laptop!

but i agree weatherman, forecast something tangible.

future sadly looks like Apple of 2005

Well said, weatherman, in fact I daresay a lot of this is close to being feasible. It's not going to get nay closer, however, if all the progress we are doing is some guy hopping around with some fancy drawings going "Fuuuuture! Fuuuuuuuture!"

Wait, note that I said feasible, not practical. Most of this stuff would be hundreds of dollars, and the watch and pen especially can be put out of their misery pretty fast by gravity.
Assuming, of course, the 2012 FUTURE BANDITS WITH WI-FI don't steal them first.

i second weatherman, companies should make working tech instead of pictures with which we have to make believe. Then, there would be some incentive in actually seeing these concepts in real life...

It is funny how making something chrome makes it look like it is from the future.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm finally getting my helicopter!!! I knew all that whining and complaining would eventually get me my way!

Always connected? NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!

Thanks to RIM, I'm always connected to work. I'm sleep-deprived and suffering from too much multi-tasking but hey -

I'm always connected.

Connectivity is overrated. Give me an off button.

Other than the projector cap, is there anything in the pen that's all that revolutionary? I could swear that there were actually ballpoint pens about that already did that.

i'm waiting

So lessee here.

We got a laptop...whoopee
A pen...gasp
a flexible E-ink display...I'm sure they'll get it right yet.
A tablet PC...real cutting edge....
Always connected AP...umm, so what's WiFi?

All decked out in chrome and translucent plastic. Way to go team! Is this the best we can do in 5 years? Not to mention that this is all "concept".

Who on earth would want to use that keyboard?

I've seen studies citing that most people [I assume that means a high percentage of people surveyed] do not like using virtual keyboards, or keyboards with no tactile feedback [for everyday typing].

I wouldn't want to use it...

I'll take 'the penis mightier' for $300, Alex.

I always thought the future would be kinda greyish.

I'm interested... build it I'll buy it
Don't build it, be shunned, SHUUUNNNNNNN!!!

Let's DO it!! I like that organizer one alot. If that thing has full PC abilities, I'll be all over it!
