Mike Outmesguine has written a nice review of the Ambient Office Dashboard, which consists of three analog meters that can be used to indicate wirelessly received data.
The Dashboard promises to "keep you in touch with the details that make up your day." Easy to read dials show digital information in analog form. Track stocks, the weather, traffic, email, unpaid bills, and more using the included "facecards". Eventually, a developers kit will allow people to create their own using configurable blank face plates… The Dashboard gets its data over the existing digital paging network. This is not a Wi-Fi device. No network cables are required. And configuration is as simple as visiting the company website, typing in the Dashboard serial number for activation, and the postal zip code where the Dashboard will be located (for regional weather and possibly premium data.)
