Korea Telecom has shown off a new laptop computer that has no memory no CPU and no OS inside it relying instead on a Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone to provide the intelligence.
The company said that the laptop is essentially an accessory for the smartphone that gives the handset a larger screen and full-sized keyboard.
KT said that it has developed a software, which runs on Android ICS (ice-cream sandwich) OS or later and fully supports the smart phone and the laptop with one MHL cable. Currently, KT applied for a patent on this technology.
"Unlike conventional products that can be connected to specific terminal provided by specific manufacturer, Spider Laptop can be connected to various smart phones and laptops and consequently it will be the very first step for hardware eco-system led by the telecommunication company", said Park Yoon-Young, the Senior Vice President of KT technology development department, who is responsible for this project.
KT added that it plans to launch a low-priced model and cooperate with many manufacturers to introduce various versions of Spider Laptop. Also, KT will continue to expand the smart phone models that can be connected to Spider Laptop.
