I recall Nokia demoing something like that with their later Symbian phones. Video out to a TV, bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and you got the phone UI up on the TV and could operate it much like you operated a desktop. And you could still see and interact with the UI on the phone screen. Android was out at that point, but could barely do video out by blanking the phone screen. Forget about operating it via other means. And i don't think iPhone was doing much better. One reason why i feel the focus on those platforms reset mobile device progress by a decade.
