One crappy thing about being a professional musician in a classical orchestra is all of the masses of sheet music you have to lug around with you from venue to venue, and practice to practice. A new concept called EMS, or E-Paper Music Score, uses E-technology to make the music movable.

Made of a single flexible screen, EMS can be rolled and unrolled for great portability, with Bluetooth streaming your sheet music from a computer directly to the device. An included foot pedal lets your “turn the page” hands-free, with the next page of the score loading automatically. — Andrew Dobrow

The design by The Chocolate Agency is a multimedia device that slaps right around your wrist, using the ultra-thin, power efficient E-Paper technology.
