Turn Your Android Phone Into a Laptop For $99 With the Andromium Superbook
Technology keeps advancing everyday, new startups keep showing forth everyday and a lot of Innovative products keep popping up.
Just some days ago i posted about Mesuit that alkows you to run Android OS on your Iphones and now there is a device that allows you to turn your Android smartphone or tablet into a PC.
A company called Andromium is attempting to harness the processing power of your Android smartphone and turn it into a full fledged computer with the superbook. The 'Superbook' consists of a 11.6-inch laptop shell, which you connect to your phone via a USB Micro-B or Type-C cable, and run the Andromium OS application (currently in beta,but available in the Play Store)
The leader of the project and Company co-founder Gordon Zheng, previously worked at Google and pitched the idea to them, they refused so he quit his job and founded Andromium Inc.
In December 2014 the company had introduced their first product which was a dock which used the MHL standard to output to external monitor. That campaign failed, however their newest creation, the Superbook smashed their Kickstarter goal in just over 20 minutes; within their first 38 hours, they'd crowdfunded $500,000.
In an intriguing side note, Andromium "says it'll open its SDK so developers can tailor their apps for Andromium too, though how much support that gets remains to be seen," reports Tech Insider. But more importantly, "Andromium says its prototypes are finished, and that it hopes to ship the Superbook to backers by February 2017."
