What if Apple made the Foleo?

lpholio.jpgOK, this is brilliant. This concept design is supposedly what would happen "if Apple made a Foleo," and I can't disagree. It's a small laptop shell that features a dock for the iPhone in front of the keyboard. When you pop in your iPhone, it turns into a multitouch trackpad and puts your iPhone up on a big screen and lets you use a real keyboard on it.

Since the iPhone is already basically a tiny computer, this makes perfect sense. It would allow you to leave your full computer at home when you traveled, using just your iPhone to do work. Of course, it would suck if you happened to get a phone call while you were working on your computer, but you've gotta assume there'd be a workaround there. Let's make it happen, Apple.

I'm sorry, but this just seems hypocritical to me. Wasn't the Foleo the same thing, except that it worked with the Treo, or a Palm Pilot? Granted, I don't think the Foleo let you put all your Palm Pilot apps on it, which was a major flaw. But I still find this pointless, even with an iPhone.
