GPS E-paper Laptops In Every Traveler's Back Pocket By 2027

Gizmodo pointed us to the Traveller, a GPS navigation system made from E-paper so it can fold and close like a paperback. This travel gadget is billed as "a satellite navigator for tourists", letting them pinpoint where they are on a map (WiFi enabled), easily upload photos, and blog.

Before you laugh it off as giant and cumbersome, remember Gordon Gekko in 1987's Wall Street. No one who saw that movie thought every business man in America would some day carry a cell phone.

Not saying twenty years from today every tourist will carry a fold up E-paper laptop that they can stuff in their back pocket, but it would certainly be cool if that was the case.
