Truth is stranger than fiction at times, but fiction does inspire the present to create something for the future as well. Case in point, the triangle-shaped tablet that was spotted on NBC's “The Office”
proved to be a rather interesting device in the show, and it certainly
got tongues wagging after that episode. While ordinary folk talked about
it, Eric Calisto decided that action is louder than words, so he has
set out to make an attempt to build one instead. In an e-mail interview, Calisto mentioned, "Tablets are interesting to me. I enjoy building things, and I love 'The Office.' Why not combine the three?"
Having said that, Calisto decided to leverage the power of Kickstarter, launching a project
so that those who believe in him and his idea will be able to generate
the necessary funds to develop said triangular tablet. He needs
approximately $25,000 to churn out a limited nnumber of tablets, but do
you think this kind of form factor is going to actually sell? It really
is an unorthodox form factor, and good luck trying to program games and
apps on such a display.
