Olo Computer, Is it a Phone or a Netbook?

Ok, this maybe a ridiculous idea to some, while iPhone fanboys will definitely find this a desecration of our beloved iPhone. But it could be interesting concept as well. OLO-Computer is a netbook sized computer with one very distinctly rare feature – it’s got the iPhone embedded to serve as a multi-touch trackpad. How cool? absurd is that?

What isn’t clear though is whether this computer would be using the iPhone’s OS and mobile system to power-up the notebook itself. Something like making the iPhone screen as big as an ordinary netbook. Or whether the iPhone which just be use for the multi-touch trackpad. But that would be a waste for the iPhone’s capability on the other hand.

Unfortunately, the OLO-Computer site doesn’t offer much information. But the site is saying something like “Your PC is OUT, Coming Soon”. So we might be looking for a future announcement from them soon. That is if they got a permission to use the iPhone as such from Apple. Or do they have to?
