Bluetooth Pillow Confuses Tooth Fairy and the Rest of Us
One of the oddities on display at this year's CeBIT show in Hannover, Germany is the perCushion. Designed by Urban Tool, it is basically a pillow with Bluetooth built in to it, so instead having to constantly switch your handset from one tired arm to the other, now you can just lay there and talk.
The perCushion measures 54 x 33 x 13 cm and has a cotton/velvet surface. Buttons for pairing, volume, answering and ending calls are located on the end of the pillow along with the speakers and microphone and LED indicators. A built in battery allows for up to eight hours of talk time and 300 hours stand-by. The covering can also be removed for washing. Urban Tool believes this "unconventional match of opposed segments unifies emotion and IT and opens up a new world of 'emotional electronics'." It surely opens up a new world of something. As you can clearly tell by the picture, you will certainly be hip with this fashionable trend-setter.
The perCushion should be available by Christmas '08 at the low, low price of €350 or around $500 USD. I'd be perfectly happy resting my phone on the nightstand in speaker mode.
