Two fully-functioning computers packed into a keyboard form factor.
However, if your phone is completely touchscreen and lacks a physical keyboard, you will see that you cannot bring up the keyboard to type into these apps as and when required.
To solve this exact problem, we have a nice little app called Wifi KeyBoard.

Google Compute Engine rocks the cloud
You're sitting around. You have some computing to do. Ten years ago, you
would ask your boss to buy a rack or two of computers to churn through
the data. Today, you just call up the cloud and rent the systems by the
minute. This is the market that Google is now chasing by packaging up
time on its racks of machines and calling it the Google Compute Engine.

Darpa Has Seen the Future of Computing … And It’s Analog
Through its Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), the DoD is funding a new program called UPSIDE,
short for Unconventional Processing of Signals for Intelligent Data
Exploitation. Basically, the program will investigate a brand-new way of
doing computing without the digital processors that have come to define
computing as we know it.

Vehicles are becoming more and more reliant on computers for efficiency, safety systems, and infotainment systems.
Most vehicles on the market today use throttle-by-wire systems, where

Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is a new HTML5 standard framework that enables the sharing of video, audio, and data directly between web browsers. These capabilities open the door to a new wave of advanced web applications.
If all goes according to plan, over 50% of all web browsers will support this capability in the next three to four months.Through an open standards approach, WebRTC integrates browser-to-browser communications directly into the fabric of the Internet. This opens many new possibilities such as:

- Rich image and video apps on mobile browsers (e.g. Instagram or Skype in the browser)
- Citizen journalists could stream breaking news directly from their phones to news outlets
- Web sites could add live support and feedback through one line of code
- Effortless file distribution (e.g. Napster) without software.
- The inclusion of WebRTC in World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards is supported by Google, Mozilla, and Opera[5][6][7][8], but opposed by Microsoft[9]. Microsoft submitted a competing standard to the WebRTC on 8th August 2012 called CU-RTC-Web[10].
