Phone+shell would always be in sync. Two devices means constantly looking for apps, books, media, etc. and realizing, "Crap, that's on the other device. Gotta download it/sync it." For the same price, I'd rather have a phone with a tablet "dock" than have two different devices. Sounds like a great product to me!
- adambyrtek 16y agoWhy should we require a clumsy physical connection to keep individual devices in sync when all of them have internet connectivity? I have an Android phone and I never copy data over a cable, everything is synchronized wirelessly. (Large content like videocasts only over WiFi.) I claim that every mobile device should be completely independent and it's surprising to me that iPhones are still tied so closely to iTunes.
- dkarl 16y agoI don't mean the shell will sync with the phone -- I mean the shell will be an alternative display/control peripheral for the phone. One computer, two ways of using it. Trying to keep two computers in sync is a pain in the ass whether there are wires or not.

I want my phone and my ipod and my gmail account and my GPS device to have the same address book without requiring supervision.
