"My umbrella also provides lighting, Internet connectivity, a misting system, an entertainment center, and will even keep your beverages at a refreshing 36-degrees(F) to keep you cool on those hot summer nights." Other features of the 21st Century Umbrella include: * A built in and adjustable lighting system * Misting system that can be programmed to spray water and air at pre- set intervals. * Broadband connectivity * An entertainment center including a TV, DVD player, CD player, and monitors that can be adjusted for any seating or lounging positions. * Wireless headphones * Adjustable canopy that can move north, south, east or west via remote control * Solar and fuel cell power capabilities * Remote control which operates all features * Easy Reach Beverage Cooler "If most people are like me, they want to spend as much time as possible outside on beautiful, sunny days. With the 21st Century Umbrella, they can spend all day outside, and enjoy all of the convenience of being inside, without ever having to walk away from the pool. And because of our connectivity, they don't even have to go inside to work." Patent is pending for this new invention, which received a very high feasibility rank from Lambert and Lambert, Inc., an evaluation and consultation service for private inventors. In addition to individuals; international resorts, hotels and casinos are also an anticipated target market, and the 21st Century Umbrella can be connected to gaming systems, so patrons can play slots, blackjack, or poker, etc. without ever leaving the pool. "We think this is going to be the biggest thing since the portable home spa," says Hollins. "Once on the market, we expect this portable outdoor room in an umbrella will render present day umbrellas obsolete."
