Re: When is a mobile phone not a mobile phone??
It does look rather cool. If I have to nitpick, I'd say that the way the phone hangs off the back of the laptop looks like a recipe for disaster. All it would take is someone walking past to knock the phone out.
Also, they could have picked a flash movie that the phone didn't have trouble playing.
Would I buy one though? If the price was right, I'd certainly consider it, despite being an iPhone fan.

Re: When is a mobile phone not a mobile phone??
Personally I'd prefer for the phone to dock where the trackpad is and use the phone's touchscreen as an interactive trackpad.

Re: When is a mobile phone not a mobile phone??
I think the real crippling factor with this is going to be the price of the dock. Apparently they will be sold for £300. I could buy a good spec netbook for that and just link it to my phone.
More comprehensive phone software could make up for any shortfall of having a separate OS on the phone to the netbook. And Im betting it would be faster too.

To me a mobile phone is not a mobile phone when it does a lot of other functions too.

Re: When is a mobile phone not a mobile phone??
given this little bit of information the line between mobile device and full fledged computer is about to get VERY shaky.

Re: When is a mobile phone not a mobile phone??
I was only saying to someone the other day that I don't regard my HTC Desire HD as a phone, it's a computer that's capable of phone calls.
