Hands On With the UrbanMax, Intel's Concept Tablet Notebook... Thing
This year's Intel Developer Forum is all about different form-factors, with walls of nearly identical MIDs, way too many netbooks and this strange creature, the Intel UrbanMax concept.

While there are a few working instances of the tech on the market, its large-scale adoption still feels miles away. So the appropriate skepticism should be applied to this NY Times report claiming Intel will announce a major wireless power breakthrough today at the Intel Developers Forum, but the details do seem enticing this time around for one of the holy grails of the CE world soon becoming a bit more feasible.
