Interesting Navigation/PMP screen concept.

As I write Part 3 of the Carputer Day on Carrypad series, JKK has posted info on Origamiproject.com about a very interesting device.

Its got exchangeable screens.

This is a concept that would be great if applied to ultra mobile PCs.

Imagine a core processing unit about the size of a DualCor or Vega that plugs into a 5″ screen, an ultra-thin notebook casing and that also docks into a full-size screen, a car screen kit, an amplifier, fridge, wall-mount etc etc etc.

Oh wait…someone has already done it. Anyone know anything about MCC? I seem to recall seeing it on Engadget at some point.

If we could somehow agree on a set of standard interfaces (preferably wireless) then we could apply this concept across different devices.

Chances of happening? Minimal methinks.
