Eleksen, maker of fabrics that work with electronics, have developed a prototype laptop bag that comes with Vista’s SideShow technology. This Wearable Display Module can essentially be sown onto different items such as handbags or even a sack, offering 2.5″ of display goodness, a 1GB storage space, and a 7-button fabric keypad. Eleksen showcased their prototype at the recently concluded CES and is currently licensing it’s technology to other hardware manufacturers for product integration. It is said that SideShow-enabled handbags will be available this summer for approximately $250 each. Hopefully the LCD is durable enough to withstand the rigors of everyday life.
