Designer Jean Hong has a vision for the Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC), and it’s taken the form of Pix-L, a device that serves as both alarm clock and bedside browser. Notice how you can prop up the mini-screen for reclined or nightstand browsing, or turn it around for a better angle from above, perfect for viewing if you’re lying on your belly.

Once the thing wakes you up the next morning, detach the tiny PC from its stand for computing on the go. Clever idea. Maybe Microsoft will agree and contact this creative French designer.
