So, effectively—your phone is your computer? This is awesome. This is what general purpose computing was meant to be.
Marketing caused us to regress to the fragmented landscape of gimmicky special purpose devices that we have today.
- calvinmorrison 6y agoOn recent droids this works surprisingly well. I have a keyboard in my bag instead of my laptop now.

- spijdar 6y agoYeah, it's a shame Google never wired up those video-out pins on the SoC. It still rubs me the wrong way that evidently Google could have enabled video-out but chose not to for whatever reason.

- kybernetikos 6y agoI have an ASUS Zenscreen MB16A. It's very portable, has a battery, touchscreen, speakers, input from either micro HDMI or USB C. The only disadvantage is that the battery will only last a few hours unless you have it plugged into usb-c charger, and I haven't worked out a way of charging it and giving it a usb-c signal at the same time yet (so when I'm using it at my desk I use the micro HDMI input).
