Yeah, but convergence could mean transferring a memory image to the dock's larger RAM, transferring control to a beefier processor in the dock, and then halting the phone's CPU. In a docked state, the only phone hardware in active use would be it's storage.
Convergence should be more about seamlessly transferring state from one device to another than using one device with different peripherals for all things.
- jjeaff 8y agoI think the idea that Kurzweil and others have put forth is that your device state will be stored in the cloud and the devices themselves will be so unimportant as to just be laying around or available wherever you go. You could just walk up to any terminal or grab a phone from a bin at the grocery store and your biometrics would instantly identify you and you would pick up where you left off.
