OK- NOW I have a reason to get a phone!

Today I ordered a SuperBook, expected to ship in 2017. It is a Kickstarter campaign that has raised almost 3 million dollars.
The SuperBook is a shell (keyboard, 1080p monitor, trackpad and a USB connector). The USB plugs into your Android smartphone and the SuperBook becomes a laptop running your Android software through an app called Andronium OS.
You can try out Andronium OS using Google Chromecast, a keyboard and a mouse.
I find this all very interesting and wonder if this might be the way we will eventually go instead of trying to run Android OS on a Chromebook?
Check it out, if you want.

Wow! Andrew Hatchett. Keep me/us posted.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why you need the phone if you are on the computer. But I don't use a Chromebook. Us Windows users feel like we have everything we need on a PC.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Windows user as well but only because I need it to do any serious video editing. Other than that I'm either using chrome or on my Chromebook. I think the new Chromebooks usage of the Android apps will be awesome and further diminish my need for Windows. On the other hand, Andrew, instead of this kludge of equipment I think I'd splurge for a full new Chromebook for another $100 or so. I don't see much value in this set up.
