HTC Tube - a concept phone

How about an all-in-one device that combines the functionality of a smartphone, laptop, and a tablet? Meet the HTC Tube. It’s a “cartridge-powered notebook, a multimedia laptop using both the cartridge tablet and a keyboard accessory; there’s also a basic phone integrated for quick answering, a stick handset.” No word yet on if this concept will become a reality.

We’ve seen quite a few concept devices in our time, some definitely deserve a place on the store shelves, whilst others… well umm, say no more. But it looks like the HTC Tube concept is most definitely one we would like to see on the store shelves.
The design of the HTC Tube is by Antoine Brieux, who has shown us some amazing designs in the past and has almost definitely designed something quite amazing with the HTC Tube concept.

HTC Sense is the UI of choice, with the Tube Phone maybe providing its 3.2, 5 or 12 megapixel camera in different configurations. The design is absolutely brilliant and sets it apart from all other modular devices out there. Any company would be crazy not to invest in such amazing gear.
