We all hate it when screens are covered in greasy fingerprints, but it’s nothing a shirt sleeve or microfibre cloth can’t fix. What the world doesn’t need is a tiny Roomba-like cleaning device designed specifically for cleaning fingerprints.
Takara Tomy’s new Auto Mee S will be available in Japan on March 28. It uses a pair of rotating cleaning pads on the underside to rid a display of dust and fingerprints. A set of three wheels let it roam over a tablet or smartphone screen, while sensors detect when to change direction.
It can clean a smartphone display in just four minutes, and a tablet in eight minutes. It’s fortunately priced at a reasonable $US17 in your choice of four different colours.
