It also sports a RFID reader whose range is both short and long. The ambient and detailed display allows interfacing with multiple monitors. The functions keys have been assigned names so that they are much more useful. Cuppa is touted as the bridge between desktop and mobile phone and is designed to be used in the home, but will fit perfectly in an office environment as well. The Cuppa Sensor is a sticker that could be hidden on any device. Some devices may require an extra connector to help stream that data from it.

The ambient display hosts an OLED screen that displays updates from friends and Instant Messages are flashed immediately. It constantly updates your Microsoft Live feeds.

With the Cuppa sensor you can convert your television screen into a Cuppa display. The lappie/controller device requires very little power to function and is energy efficient. It can be used as the alternate remote to control your entire devices at home or office.

While not made from actual glass crystal, the keys on this product are each encased in a transparent plastic that gives the full effect of the elegant material. Because each key is covered there is no danger of wearing off the letters and the glossy texture makes it easy to clean. The keyboard comes in white, gray and black and works with apple and windows computers. The form factor is very compact with a slim profile and folding feet at the back to raise the keyboard up and down.

Manufacturer: Elecom
