Ambient Wireless Gadgets can provide you lot of relief from information overload. At the same time, these devices look pretty sitting on your office desk, living room or on the door of your fridge.SMS, emails or even Phone calls are the traditional methods of conveying important information that may require immediate attention like stock market movements, traffic congestion, weather forecast, etc.
Ambient devices are built on a different philosophy - they do not require a computer or an internet connection. They just sit on your desk and convey the information using visual clues like changing colors. The data flows in over FM airwaves. Ambient terms it datacasting.
