We’ve had Sideshow devices on your laptop lid, on your remote control and even on your satchel… now your fridge is getting a sub-display, if this concept from Ricavision is anything to go by.
Intended to be a modern-day fridge magnet, the diminutive 3.5-inch QVGA screen connects wirelessly to your Vista PC for schedule updates, media and email, while using the included stylus to write on the screen turns it into a multi-colour Post-It note.
Ricavision envisage a 16 hour battery life from the internal LiIon cell. Right now it appears to just be a concept, but if the price could be low enough I can imagine there are plenty of people who would like something like this; it reminds me a little of the Chumby bedside table device, though with closer integration with a far more powerful PC elsewhere in the home.
