Screen Expanding Smartphone Docks

The ClamBook Transforms iPhones and Androids into Laptops

— June 12, 2012 — Tech
With smartphones become capable of performing as many, if not more, functions as a traditional computer, the ClamCase ClamBook was designed to transmit that power onto a larger screen.

Rather than toting around both your laptop and your smartphone when your iPhone or Android device could do the job of both if only the screen was large enough, users can attach their phone into the super slim laptop shell and reduce the electronics they bring with them on-the-go.

A new-and-improved version of a similar product released by ClamCase back in 2010, this case bears an uncanny resemblance to the MacBook Air and allows for seamless wireless Internet use. It is also thinner than Apple's Air laptop making it a lightweight alternative to carting around a personal computer.

1. Screen Expanding Smartphone Docks - The trend of screen expanding smartphone docks offers an innovative solution for users who want a larger screen experience with their smartphones.
2. Clambook - The ClamBook is an example of a disruptive innovation in the smartphone accessories market, providing a laptop-like experience by transforming iPhones and Androids into laptops.
3. Wireless Internet Use - The trend of seamless wireless Internet use opens up opportunities for users to access online resources conveniently and without the need for traditional computers.
Industry Implications
1. Smartphone Accessories - The smartphone accessories industry has the potential to capitalize on the trend of screen expanding smartphone docks by developing innovative solutions and providing improved user experiences.
2. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating features that transform smartphones into laptops, like the ClamBook, enabling users to have a versatile and portable computing experience.
3. Internet Connectivity - The trend of seamless wireless Internet use presents opportunities for the internet connectivity industry to develop faster and more reliable wireless networks that can support the increasing demand for mobile computing on larger screens.
