Why? The mega powerful 4.5″ Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 Spider phone – boasting 1280×800 resolution, QUALCOMM 1.5GHz DualCore Processor, 16GB Internal Memory, full HD Camera (8MP back and 3MP front) – has crafted an ecosystem web all of its own.
The all powerful KT Spider phone has the ability to turn into a Spider 10.1″ PAD, laptop or handheld gaming device in a split second.
Its maker KT has developed laptop, gaming and tablet shells (with no CPU or memory), which means users needn’t bother forking out major bucks for additional devices – it is all to hand, literally.
This means Droids can keep all apps, data and games on one device and just connect up to secondary shells on command.
Other Spider phone specs of note include 1710mAh Battery, weighting 141g. 9.5m thin.
Tipped by several as “a real game changer” for Android industry, the hybrid device made by Korean telco KT, unveiled at IFA 2011 surprised many attendees at the event, not least because KT have jumped the fence and began making, rather than just selling smartphones.
Motorola came up with a similar idea, with its ‘no brains’ 11.6 inch lapdock for the similarly powerful Atrix smartphone unveiled in Australia earlier this year, allowing users view movies, apps and listen to music on a large laptop screen.
However, costing AU$449 Moto’s Atrix lapdock was almost the price of a new tablet or notebook anyway, so seemed kind of pointless.

So, lets hope KT can make its no brains devices a little more cost effective, although it has not made any sounds over prices just yet, but is to release Spider and Co in its native Korea in November/December.
