Intel's wireless Tablet PC surfboard
17 June 2004 by axxxr 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". http://www.goldcoastoceanfest.co.uk/
