The world has seen ideas for smart coolers, but how about a smart coffee table? Thanks to the $1,000 Storebound Sobro, that day my friends is at hand. According to Storebound, the Sobro isn't your ordinary piece of living room furniture. The Sobro plays music, charges laptops and phones, plus conceals a small refrigerator for cold beverages.
To provide audio the Sobro functions as a wireless Bluetooth speaker for phones, tablets, even HDTVs. It has numerous USB ports and AC outlets for filling up thirsty electric batteries as well. Literally the coolest of the Sobro's features is a small fridge tucked away inside its main drawer. It's designed to hold your favorite drink of choice.
