The OLO: an iPhone-Powered Netbook
By Mike Payne
After the initial surprise of the iPhone died down, after every other smartphone maker got in line behind it, it was realized by many just how powerful the iPhone can be. The iPhone has enough processing power to stand on its own as a netbook/UMPC– but its still just a phone, no bigger than the average smartphone. The people at OLO Computer have devised a dock for the iPhone which turns it into a full-size netbook. The OLO uses the iPhone as the processor for a standard size netbook, including a full-size keyboard and display. Details on the OLO will be officially released today, we’ll come back to update you. Let’s hope Apple doesn’t burst OLO’s bubble with their own press release tomorrow… Whether or not the OLO will see the light of day, it certainly is a cool concept. [olo-computer via gizmodo]
