£1 coin gains GPS
Flip for food decisions
Cloud storage: Lower cost and increase uptime
Flipping a coin to decide where to eat out tonight is all well and good. But when the flip’s decided on Carluccio’s instead of Pizza Express, how do you find the darn place? Enter the GPS coin.
Inbi-out makes restaurant decision easy - and then guides you to them
The concept coin - officially dubbed Inbi-out by inventor Ju-Wei Chen - looks slightly bigger than a pound coin, yet features a circular semi-transparent screen and integrated GPS navigation.
Simply flip the coin and whatever side lands face up is the decider for what sort of food you should eat out tonight. The screen then displays satnav-style directions to a nearby eatery specialising in your the coin’s chosen food.
Every restaurant that you eat in is then recorded by the coin, helping you to build up a database of locations for future meals out.
No plans to manufacture the coin have been announced, but we’d guess that there’s a 50:50 chance of its appearing in shops in the future... ®

solves our holiday food arguments!
My wife and I cannot decide where to eat on holidays and this means miles of trekking to look at restaurants...and arguying. This will solve it at one swoop (or shall I say, one flip..) bring it on!
If...
... they will provide me with one of these curiosities (and fully functional, yeah right) in exchange for one of my genuinely useful beer tokens (and not a hundredth of a beer token more), I would think about it. Otherwise, surely one of the most pointless gadgets ever conceived.
