I bet this would be great for an operations, sales, support or any pother non technical role. The company would only have to buy docs and monitors and then the workforce can just swap out their mobile devices from meeting room to desk etc... I see a large enterprise or student play here if they have the vision to market it.

A large enterprise or educational institute workforce of people in non-technical roles who all have Galaxy S8 devices? So that's a market size of one then? You could sell this solution to Samsung, and pretty much nobody else.

  I work in a large company, and we have a mostly mobile workforce, meaning we already have the majority of the company on docks with monitors and unassigned desk areas (show up and pick one when you need it). I could definitely see lots of our workforce being able to use something like this.

  The company would save on buying computers and just get everyone work phones (galaxy devices). Seems like that would be best for a non technical workforce anyway. Support and Sales are always on the phone.

Not really. I thought that Chromecast would become a thing in meeting rooms. You could just beam your laptop or phone up onto the big screen. Who needs more than a browser? But no, it has not happened. We still fumble over connectors. Given my failed ability to get anyone interested in going Chromecast I doubt I could persuade anyone to get DeX sorted for the meeting rooms.

  Over the past 3 years or so, I’ve seen Apple TVs attached to projectors in many conference rooms. People who want to present from a Windows machine do the cable dance still, but those who want to present from an iPhone, iPad or Mac just connect over AirPlay and go. I’ve started saving presentations to my OneDrive and using PowerPoint from my phone to display them, even when I have my laptop with me.

  We're a small company, but have a Chromecast on every TV/projector in the office if it makes you feel any better :)
