This is for the win

As I was cool about it, and didn't pride too much on the electric motor bike that came with included IP connectivity, it seems I still get quite unique products, just like the next one, which is a vertical bed. What do I mean by vertical bed? Exactly what you are seeing to the left of the text, a gizmo that will let users take short naps while around the city and waiting for their friends.

This would actually work better for holding old people while waiting in line, as well as for homeless people, if the manufacturer manages to build this cheap enough. Wouldn't it be more fun to see a bunch of human statues downtown, rather than the regular bums sleeping on the sidewalk? The Vertical bed will be shipped (unknown as of now) with noise-canceling headphones, as well as opaque sunglasses, a freestanding umbrella and with all of that, it still fits into a suitcase.

Physically speaking, the vertical bed made it past the test that seems to have involved a poor fellow assigned to take 40 minute naps in the middle of New York, without getting mugged, nor falling over, so it looks like it is capable of supporting your full body weight. With most of the details said, I can only relate to what a user commented on gizmodo, asking about the string that keeps one's mouth shut - honestly, it would be odd to see a guy "sitting" somewhere with his mouth open and probably drooling. Another thing that was ignored is the snoring part - how do you prevent that?

Also, as another user pointed, a nice addition would be a string to keep one's hand raised as if he or she were talking on the phone - which would also prevent the probable happening of someone walking over and asking something. No info yet on the price or availability.
