Touch Screen Coffee Mug

Don’t you think the idea is neat, having a coffee mug that can tell you everything you want in the early morning? Such as the weather, time, traffic, stocks etc, without needing you to sit in front of your computer screen while having your breakfast. That is the concept of a Yuno coffee mug PC. As today’s computer chips are getting smaller and smaller, it shouldn’t be too far from now to produce an intelligent coffee mug that comes equipped with touch-screen technology that would give you your morning routine dose of information.

You can also display your own images on a screensaver or have it to play a slide show to keep you a bit relaxed while you’re taking a coffee break. Or perhaps, watch youtube videos on it. In fact, it’d be a complete PC that is clammed on a coffee mug, reads and displays your news feeds, plays your clips etc.

Sounds like a cool concept but the application of my mug also being a computer doesn’t sound too good. I think I like having my mug in one hand and I can look at all that information on my cell with the other hand. Although I don’t really have a morning routine besides get up and go and then making my espresso on the Gaggia we have at the office. So what do you think of this concept?
