Spider Combines Laptop, Tablet, Phone, Handheld

I wouldn't touch this spider product with an assortment of lavender & aloe vera soaps! Just imagin what could go wrong with this product. Its connections with each other may over time give you trouble. Even be faulty more than the usual tech friendly product. I'd rather have a straight product that will less likely have troubles with connecting them together.

What I mean it that I'd rather have a stand alone product rather than a hybrid product.

So, basically what Acer (ASUS?) demonstrated earlier this year.

And copying the PSP layout and trademark of buttons?

Oh Korea...

What that would do, however, is make the tablet a bit more expensive and the laptop a bit cheaper.Plus, they stated that the laptop would have a bigger screen. And on that subject: 1280x800 on a smartphone sounds sweet. I do remote desktop and ssh from my phone - so I would kill for this right now[/citation]

I actually agree with the other guy. The tablet would be the display for the laptop as well as offering touch capabilities on screen. Not to mention, it would be cheaper for the "laptop attachment" than it would be to pay for ANOTHER screen on top of the one that's already on the tablet. Also, you'll have less crap to carry around if the tablet also functioned as a screen for the laptop portion.

I think this was a bit of an oversight.

It's good to see some innovation for a change, although i'm still not convinced with the Android platform. Perhaps when Windows 8 rolls out we will finally get what this market desperately needs: a "open" tablet device can run full-fledged applications. Just imagine how awesome it would be to dock your Windows 8 tablet and have it turn into a fully-capable Windows 8 notebook? Makes you wonder why can't they do it now with current Linux distros?
