Articles about us:
If Convertible: A smartphone, tablet and ultrabook in one
The If Convertible: 3 Devices, 1 Data Plan
At idealfuture, we realized that in 2014, we should have flying cars, jet packs and robots making our breakfast. Instead, we are all still running around with our cell phones in our pockets. Our laptops and tablets are only mere variations of devices that were created decades ago. Convenience these days is becoming more and more inconvenient.
We thought, “What if we could have one device that would make all the others obsolete?” Think about it… what if you could operate all of your devices on the same data plan? What if all you needed was ONE ultimate and integrated device to simplify your life? What if there was one device that could create a more productive work-space by incorporating cutting-edge hardware and software to work, play and communicate?
Together we can bring this vision to reality! We have a revised goal of $10,000 and every dollar counts! Contributions will allow us to start the process of bringing the if convertible to the world! All of our contributors will be included in the idealfuture family; we have everything from T-shirts to the limited edition Founding Series of the if convertible itself.

"We believe that through the power of the Indiegogo crowd funding community and the power of innovation, we will revolutionize mobile computing as we know it. At this time we've only scratched the surface of how people will soon be using this device to work, play, and communicate."
-- Jeff Batio Founder

We can provide everyone with a convergent mobile future.
When attached to the base, the right screen can be rotated and the device folded closed, converting into tablet mode. As a tablet it can be used flat or angled; ideal for game play or movie watching with no worry of tired hands or the extra expense of a stand.
Dual Displays: The if features dual displays which can increase productivity by as much as 40-60%. No more having someone hover over your shoulder to see what is on your screen. With the if convertible's rotating right screen people can now see what you see. The right screen of the if convertible also detaches to become your android smartphone.
The if convertible is so versatile that it runs both android and Windows 8. When the Slingshot is detached it will run the latest android software.
The laptop base will run off the newest version of windows. This means you will be able to run your favorite android apps while also having access to all your favorite Windows programs.
