[citation][nom]klavis[/nom]It's and interesting concept, I'm actually a bit surprised it hadn't been thought up before hand and produced.[/citation]
i thought of i back in 2007, and wouldn't shut up about it. except i was more the shell around the phone, not the parts in it like these appear to be.
i came up with it looking at a ps2/3 controller, and a psp, make the shell around the iphone, and there, tactile buttons, and a VERY viable gaming platform.
latter on when the power went up, i proposed to just make the iphone/iphone like device the "tower" and plug in a laptop or tablet screen.
than this one company, i forget who, ACTUALLY DEMOED my 3 ideas... granted they never talked to me... but yea.
you have any idea how happy i am that at the very least 4-5 years after i first had the idea, SOMEONE is taking it fruition
[citation][nom]killerclick[/nom]Why can't phones connect wirelessly to multiple HD displays, keyboards, mice and speakers yet? Imagine having a phone in your pocket that could do that - no matter where you are you could take advantage of proper interfaces and do actual, useful work. Then it would make sense to pack more powerful hardware into phones.. and it would also make sense for Windows 8 to be an all-in-one OS.[/citation]
imagine being in walmart, and someone with a phone in the electronics department plays meatspin... you kind of see why its not here and simple to connect everything yet.
[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]Wireless HDMI is in its infancy even on desktop PCs and are a real energy suckAs far as keyboard and mouse go you probably could add a bluetooth one but a mouse on a 4" screen is insane and who is going to use a keyboard on a phone?But at least you are seeing the future, eventually phones will have the power of an i7, the graphics of a GTX580 and the storage of a file server, all beamable to the nearest Holo-TV which will have native Kinect and voice control.But let's just step back, there has to be a thousand excruciating increments and even a few steps backwards before we get there, maybe your kids will have one.[/citation]
you know i have to imagine that by the time a holo tv is a viable option, we will have something akin to cyberbrain, or that kind of interface (see ghost in the shell stand alone complex, or matrix) and everything will be a virtual displays. with very little analogue.
