Viewer Challenge: Add A Tablet to a Fridge

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

Hi Ben,

 

I thought this might be cool. I Really like the samsung fridge with an onboard tablet, but I can't justify the price. So , what I would like to do is add a Tablet on the cheap to an existing fridge. I was thinking of a 7' android tablet (archos), loaded with refrigerator useful apps, that could be dock in the fridge door. Docking would allow the tablet to be removed and a little more useful than the samsung one. What do you think?

 

Thanks

John k

    what would your exact functionality be? I know seeing the weather on the fridge is cool but i'd bring it around the house aswell. now if you want to automate maybe pulling meat out of the freezer to thaw or to get drinks out and putting it on a conveyorbelt to get to you around the house thatd be pretty sick

    Fridgepad sounds nice, but I would have to always go to the fridge to use it.  Need a bit of portability.
