OLO iPhone notebook concept
Surprisingly cheap yet seriously portable laptops are all the rage these days. The super-compact “netbooks” boast tiny form-factors, all manner of wireless connectivity options, and pack a decent performance-punch – it’s no wonder the netbook movement has been catching on.
And it looks like we may have another player throwing their hat into the ring. OLO Computer is apparently looking to follow in the footsteps of CELIO’s RedFly Windows Mobile Companion. The OLO website gives little more than a teaser splash page that shows off the company’s netbook concept. Like CELIO’s RedFly, the OLO netbook would be powered by a mobile phone. Unlike the CELIO RedFly, the OLO concept netbook is expected (if it actually makes it to market) to work with the iPhone / iPhone 3G.
OLO’s concept mockup shows an iPhone nestled along the bottom edge of the keyboard, acting as a trackpad. The iPhone would be running the show with the “netbook” working as little more than a larger display and keyboard for the iPhone.
If OLO makes it to market with a netbook like the one they’re showing off, they might just have a hit on their hands.
