South Africa-based computer engineering student Nick Rout has designed Seed, a set of mobile and computer devices that are powered by a single smartphone.
Wanting to offer a truly connected solution between a person’s multiple devices—such as tablets, laptops, desktops, and even televisions—Seed is an all-new solution that will run on the open source Ubuntu OS, and resolve having to regularly sync data between devices, or storing private information in the cloud.
The basis of Seed is the processing power and data of a single docked smartphone. Using a powerful processor such as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 or an Adreno 420, a 4GB mobile DRAM and 128GB of flash storage, the smartphone docks into a tablet, laptop, desktop PC, or HDTV perfectly with a simple magnetic mechanism.
However, Rout’s goal is to do more than connect mobile devices seamlessly. Seed also sees itself as a new way to lower the cost of owning multiple devices, its multiple connecting cables, and make technology a thing of simplicity.
