Attention gadget lovers

Hui-Zong Chen has created a prototype for a yoga mat that can play music from memory cards or an MP3 player. The mat also has an electronic paper screen that allows you to take a yoga class without leaving your home or turning on your DVD player. Is this too much technology for the average yogi? Will we even blink an eye at this 20 years from now?

Cool but a bit retro when compared to the MyPodSouthParkTripleLatte Super Mat, complete with built in electronic, "scan as you go", bulk class pass, Ipod holder, and wireless Internet connection along with the "I need my latte" magnetic strip that allows you to scan your mat every time you need a Triple Latte from your favorite coffee shop.
