We have featured a number of different concepts here on Geeky Gadgets
for combining devices together, and Asus have taken the idea mainstream
with the Asus Padfone. Which combines a smartphone and tablet together into one unit to share processing power and features.
Designer Prashant Chandra has taken the concept one stage further and
incorporates , a camera, smartphone, tablet and notebook in to one
device. Enabling them to all to share features and processing power and
be charged and synced at the same time.
The notebook doesn’t have a keyboard of its own but uses the docked
tablet as a touch screen input device. Also when the camera is docked it
doubles as a web camera and automatically transfers your photographs to
the main notebook and syncing.
When the tablet
is docked with the notebook it can also be switched from keyboard mode
into a dual screen notebook allowing users to use the tablet as a sketch
pad. The smartphone docks in to the front of the notebook providing
extra processing power and battery life when required.
Unfortunately the system is still just a concept at the moment, but
with companies like Asus already combining smartphones and tablets
together, we probably don’t have long to wait for mainstream solutions
to start to appear in stores.
