Salt Lake City's Celio makes your smart phone a computer, too

The big trouble with those powerful smart phones is that they have small screens and tiny keyboards, making it difficult if not impossible to use for many tasks such as typing in a bunch of words or viewing a spreadsheet.

To take advantage of the phones’ computing powers and to overcome its handicaps, Celio designed and is marketing what essentially is a screen and a keyboard you can use with a smart phone that makes the phone act much like a laptop with ready access to the Internet.

The company’s Redfly Smart-Phone Terminals have 7- or 8-inch screens and like-sized keyboards. It relies on the smart phones\’ computing power and has no central processing unit or operating system. That makes it both lighter and cheaper.
