Internet Umbrella - Get the Weather in the Weather

We like the idea of it raining out and being able to see when it's going to stop using our umbrella. And when we think more about the Internet-ready Umbrella, raining is the only time you'd use it. Hmmm...worth it? Most likely if you're waiting at a bus stop or taking a long walk and want to read some email or check the weather. The prototype umbrella also features a GPS, digital compass, and can connect with Flickr and Google earth - maybe there's more to Internet-ready Umbrellas than meets the eye.

You can view a full video of the Internet Umbrella here.
