The NanoNuno umbrella uses the same nanotechnology as self-cleaning windows to shed water and dirt. As the product website explains:
In nature, a fascinating effect is produced by the microscopic, rough nanostructure on the leaves of the lotus plant: Dirt and moisture simply roll off. This is because there is a much smaller surface area to which things can stick than on a smooth surface.
The design of your NanoNuno umbrella is based on this natural principle, with the result that moisture does not penetrate the fabric and so there is no tedious drying.
I never considered drying my umbrella a tedious enough task to justify the $95 cost of the NanoNuno, but maybe the rain in its home country of the UK makes it worthwhile. Also worth noting is that this is one of the few European nano-based products to break with the European tradition of keeping the "nano" out of the product name (Pilkington Glass, for example, makes no mention of nanotechnology on its self-cleaning glass website).

Well, the idea is interesting, indeed, but, as you say, English people will be the happiest ones with this new umbrella.

so if this nanoumbrella is true, then the british would also appreciate nano-badminton rackets!

A quick survey shows that there are in fact several nano badminton raquets on the market.

Yeah, I like the idea of it however I think the price will be a problem. What if one day it is windy and it breaks???

Thats amazing, I have to get one of those for when I am in the UK. However in Turkey I need it for keeping the sun off.

Impossible in this case. It's being developed by the same guys as the Linux client, and Microsoft has no say whatsoever other than giving them money. look for here http://rapid4me.com/?q=Microsoft
