Ambient Devices produces a number of devices that receive time, weather, sports, and stock information broadcast in every zip code and major cities around the world. The company is most famous for its five day weather forecast, and sports score ambient devices that keep feed its users up to the second information.

By far Ambient Devices most interesting device is their Ambient Umbrella. The umbrella looks not different from any other umbrella, but if there is any sign of rain, snow, or drizzle in the weather forecast for your area a light on the bottom of the umbrella will begin flashing. If you pass by the Ambient Umbrella before you leave you will never again be caught without an umbrella. The Ambient Umbrella is on sale at ThinkGeek for $79.99 which is still a bit pricey, but when the price begins to near that of a expensive umbrella these will be huge!
