Microsoft Shows Off Mobile Phone-PC Prototype

Microsoft has demo’d a PC constructed from a mobile phone, a TV and a keyboard, intended to provide cheap computers for developing nations. The prototype showed “word processing, multimedia playback and Web browsing using scaled-down versions of Internet Explorer, Word and Windows Media Player”. This is still in the conception phase, MS is still looking at whether it’s a viable option. The fact that it’s even possible shows how far phones have come, and it’s only a matter of time before some people use them as a portable computer — connected to the keyboard and TV via bluetooth.
