The Napkin PC is a concept for a next-generation computer entered into the 2009 Next-Gen PC Design Competition by Avery Holleman. The concept won first prize, the Chairman's Award.[1] The award was personally presented to Holleman by Microsoft founder Bill Gates. Holleman received $20,000 in prize money for the accolade. There is currently no plan to build the device; it remains a concept. The technology is based on current technologies, like e-paper and radio frequency.[2] DesignA "napkin" holder functions as a base-station for the technology. The base-station is filled with e-paper "napkins", as well as a place for some coloured pens. The user can simply pick up a pen and interact with the napkin using the pen. The napkin and pen communicate using short-range RF technology, while both connect with the base-station using long-range RF waves.[2][3][4] Holleman has also stated that the napkins can easily be shared. The napkins are also modular.[2][3][5] The pen wirelessly powers the napkin when it comes into close range.[2] ProductionImages of the concept released by Holleman show the device running a variant of Windows.[6] Holleman hopes that the Napkin PC will encourage creative groups to collaborate better because of the conference abilities of the concept.[1][2] The device will require very little power. It will rely on not a battery, but a single-layer flexible circuit board for inductive power.[2][5] Holleman also hopes that the device will help cut down on paper waste and reduce the need for printers in modern society.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.tuvie.com/napkin-pc-concept-by-avery-holleman-has-won-microsoft-next-gen-pc-design-competition/ |title= Napkin PC Concept by Avery Holleman Has Won Microsoft Next-Gen PC Design Competition |website=Tuvie |accessdate=2014-11-12}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web |url=http://phys.org/news118766237.html |title=Napkin PC Enables High-Tech Doodling |last=Zyga |first=Lisa |date=2008-01-05 |website=Phys.org |publisher=Science X |accessdate=2014-11-12}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://gizmodo.com/340835/napkin-pc-concept-utilizes-multi-touch-e-paper-display-and-rf-technology |title=Napkin PC Concept Utilizes Multi-Touch E-Paper Display and RF Technology |last=Fallon |first=Sean |date=2008-01-04 |website=Gizmodo |publisher=Gawker Media |accessdate=2014-11-12}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.designsojourn.com/finally-a-pc-that-every-designer-has-dreamed-about/ |title=Finally a PC that Every Designer has Dreamed About! |last=Ling |first=Brian |date=2008-01-26 |website=Design Sojourn |accessdate=2014-11-12}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.techpin.com/napkin-pc-concept/ |title=Napkin PC Concept |last=B. |first=Sierra |date=2008-04-08 |website=TechPin |accessdate=2014-11-12}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/01/04/high-tech-napkins/ |title=High Tech Napkins |date=2008-01-04 |website=Yanko Design |accessdate=2014-11-12}} 1 : Personal computers |
