Insert Coin: $250 Casetop turns your smartphone into a laptop (video)
In SoMeIT (Social Media Information Technology), we are fully dedicated to satisfying all of your web needs, integrating your business to social networks.
In Insert Coin, we look at an exciting new tech project that requires funding before it can hit production. If you’d like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with “Insert Coin” as the subject line.
We keep hearing about how handheld devices are replacing laptops, so how about doing it literally? Casetop just launched a laptop-style dock on Kickstarter that you can plug your smartphone into, turning it into the processor, graphics engine and trackpad of a “laptop.” In return, the dock will give you an 11.1-inch 720p display, full-sized keyboard, stereo speakers, HDMI input, MHL video input, dual-mode MicroUSB, audio output and “always-powered” USB for charging other devices. Unlike similar offerings such as the still-unshipped Clambook (or Motorola’s ill-fated Lapdock) the Casebook uses the handset as a trackpad, and the creators say that it won’t be device-specific, working instead with a large number of smartphones from Apple, Blackberry, Samsung and others. Of course, it needs to meet the lofty $300,000 funding goal for all that to happen, but if you’re optimistic, hit the source to plop down your $250 minimum pledge.Filed under: Cellphones, LaptopsCommentsSource: Casetop
