CF Apple Computer

Just a little follow-up here on the Olo Computer , the supposed iPhone-based Netbook that was ‘announced’ two weeks ago. We got an email from Giacomo Bersano, the head of Active Innovation Management, confirming that the Olo is a concept, not a product. “We are not PC technologists, and we are looking for some technological partner to go further on the Olo concept,” Bersano writes.

He’s also updated his Olo-Computer.com Web site with a statement where he confirms that the Olo is, sadly, not for real, but rather a demonstration of the ideas he can help companies come up with as an innovation consultant. “The OLO computer concept is an example of great ideas that A.I.M. is able to generate thanks to a set of systematic innovation techniques that the company uses daily in its activity,” the statement says.

Bersano’s idea - that the iPhone is Apple’s Netbook, to some extent - got a boost from Steve Jobs yesterday during an Apple conference call. Unfortunately, as long as Apple bars iPhone developers from writing hardware drivers, you’re not going to see a big screen and keyboard for your iPhone any time soon.

I got the 2nd option. Have to wait till a few pay periods to get the Apple Care and the display port to DVI adapter. Glad I waited all summer. Good things do come to those who wait I guess. Bad thing is, won’t come till Oct 20-24. And they charged me for tax :-(. never did that for Colorado. But Can. Not. Wait.
