Rain Forecasting Umbrella - A Weather Guru in an Umbrella
We like the simplicity in this weather forecasting umbrella - the color indicates the type of weather - blue for rain and yellow for sunny. Simple and elegant, we think concepts of ambient information about the weather throughout your day is the way to go. No need to yell at you from a weather radio, when you can pulse a color and get the same results.
How does it work? The Forecast Umbrella is embedded with wi-fi technology that pulls weather info from the Internet. The more intense the glow of the handle, the more ardent the umbrella's calling for you to take it along at that moment. This is still only a prototype, but we expect them to be available within the year.
You'd think the reinvention of the umbrella would have been done years ago, but besides different colors it never happened. Finally the Nubrella has come along and totally reinvented the concept. The nubrella also features a stylish sleek futuristic oval design. This new revolutionary sleek design, says goodbye to the "bobbing" effect on the busy sidewalks of metroplitan cities. Easy to use, you just push the button and pull the handle towards you and nubrella will simply "pop" open. With nubrella's patent pending "shoulder supports" nubrella simply rests on your shoulders and can be held with one finger. With nubrella's clear transparent material there is no more need to tilt your umbrella down and quickly back up to see while fighting the elements. Just walk straight away and see where you are walking all of the time with nubrella.

The umbrella itself is also incredibly well made. When opened, the umbrellas 58" dual-canopy "gust buster" design resists strong wind gusts and keeps you fully sheltered from precipitation.

Whenever precipitation is expected in the next 12 hours, the Umbrella’s handle illuminates to suggest “today is the day to take me with you.”
We like rain and we like having a good umbrella in it. Now when you're in a city or in a place where you need an umbrella but don't have one, you can often get a courtesy umbrella. Dutch Umbrella -- a startup focusing its efforts in and around the city of brotherly love -- is looking to take the idea of courtesy umbrella rentals to a new level by incorporating RFID tags and marketers. So what happens is, they track you via the umbrella and see what you might shop or purchase or places you visit. Kinda creepy - but it is a free umbrella.
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.
