i-Sleep Heated Laptop Pillow Recycles Your Laptops Heat, Promises Sweet Dreams

Developed by Ivonne Dippmann, the i-Sleep pillow works in unison with
your laptop and could transpire to be an indispensable travel gadget for
those needing a little shut-eye whilst jet-setting to their next
business appointment, allowing them to arrive at their destination
suitably refreshed and ready to cut a deal.

Billed as being 'an analog laptop extension', Ivonne Dippmann's i-Sleep
pillow is described as functioning in much the same way as an aircraft's
lifejacket and, somewhat intriguingly, apparently uses the hot air
expelled by your laptop (whilst your laptop's in standby mode) to
inflate and become a warm pillow though, personally, I'd want to see
this work in practice as opposed to work in theory - after all, with the
weight of a head placed on the pillow, it seems improbable that a
standard laptop's fan could possibly offer the degree of power required
to keep the pillow deflating (and even with a valve, surely, the laptop
needs to expel air with sufficient power to work against the valve?).
But perhaps our concerns have already been addressed (though this is not
especially clear).

Either ways, whether practical or workable or just somewhat
tongue-in-cheek in nature, there's no doubt that the concept is a good
one should such practical issues be circumvented. And, as if resting
your weary head on a heated, air cushioned pillow is not tempting enough
(I suspect that the feelings much comparable with sleeping on a
particularly accommodating breast?) the i-Sleep is even billed as coming
with software that will play pre-defined playlists, with the music
sounding through the pillow, to further ease you into blissful repose -
though your laptop will have to be out of standby for this to work.

Technicalities aside, the idea of having what is, in essence, a warm,
inflatable breast as a travelling companion certainly appeals to us and
we suspect that we may not be alone in this respect.
