Intel's wireless Tablet PC surfboard

Technical details:

• Samsung Ultra S S7350

From the forum:

• Samsung Tocco Ultra
• c905 ultra clear audio driver
• Samsung GT-S7350 Ultra s themes ?
• Samsung, Tocco Ultra Edition II
• CSR Demonstrate Wibree, the Ultra Low Power (ULP) Bluetooth

And the prize for absurd gadget of the day goes to Intel, for their computer-in-a-surfboard, appropriately named the Wireless Technology Surfboard.

The surfboard accomplishes this amazing feat by having a Centrino-powered tablet PC sealed inside of it (we hope they remembered to waterproof it). Power is provided by a solar panel. Now of what possible use could this be? Do surfers really need to check their email while waiting for the next wave? Of course it was designed for the GoldCoast Oceanfest, "lifestyle event".
