iPhone Laptop? Wait WHAAAT???
OLO Computer updated their site with a mysterious laptop with what looks like an iPhone as the trackpad and OS X on the screen. Now I’m only thinking out loud but the iPhone, tho powerful, isn’t powerful enough to run a full blown version of OS X. Does OLO know something we don’t know or are they just reaching for pie in the sky? Care to ruminate?

Oh, this is only the tip of the iceburg. The rumors are flying around in some kind of virtual electronic soup battle at places like macrumors, 9to5mac an macenstein. It’s crazyness.

maybye there just using the i-phone as the mousepad? just a nice way to charge/dock your laptop and i-pod/phone?

If that’s true, it’d be nice. And if there’s a phone call coming in, you speak through the laptop. In fact, whatever the phone can do, the laptop can do too when iphone is placed inside as a mousepad.

Cool idea! And the iPhone doesn’t have to run it all, the machine could have all kinds of hardware to run graphics etc.

Wow, look at the thing I mocked up and posted here less than a year ago:

All I wanted was a screen for watching videos, full sized keyboard, and backup battery. I’d be happy if someone had taken my concept into production, but this is just some guy making a rendering and passing it off as “coming soon”.
AAF says
They should put this into production
