OLO Computer would turn an iPhone into a netbook

Submitted by Brad Linder -

OLO Computer appears to be working on a Palm Foleo/CELIO RedFly-like device that would turn an iPhone into a netbook. More details here.

...and it would most probably go the way of the Foleo. Well, unless the operating system allows for a full-blown browser (and other apps) view. Then if it is cheap enough, it can be deployed at airports, terminals, and other public places where people tend to have idle time. Then middle-aged business execs can rent these to check out their email, browse sites, and catch-up on on-line friends without having to squint on all the time. An additional upside is users won't have to worry about data security since presumably everything stays on their iPhone. When done, they just grab their iPhone and leave.
