ClamCase concept turns an iPad into a laptop

[javajolt]

While analysts try to decide whether the Apple iPad is eating into netbook sales, there’s on sure way to make their job a bit tougher — turn an iPad into a netbook. We’ve seen plenty of hackers take perfectly good netbooks over the years and turn them into tablets by adding a touchscreen display and ripping out the keyboard. Now a company called ClamCase is promising to bring out a kit this Fall that will let you turn an iPad into a laptop by inserting it into a slick looking case and connecting to the integrated keyboard via Bluetooth.

This isn’t the first attempt we’ve seen to turn an iPad into a notebook with the help of a docking station/case. The folks at LapDock are working on something quite similar. The difference is that LapDock has a working, but ugly protoype, while ClamCase has a sexy-as-hell, but completely imaginary concept video… which you can watch after the break.
