It would be cool if it had a battery built in that would charge the phone and power the tablets screen while you're using it.

It turns into a tablet since it adds USB ports, front-facing camera and sd-card slot, which two of three are not present in iPod touch 4th gen.

This could be a hot item if its implemented correctly. Lets see how many hours after release it takes for Apple to sue both of these companies for putting iDevices into them.

Hope ICE won’t be sued by Apple.

Hope the iPod would work on this docking station.
