Interesting, they just say "Smartphone", and have an iPhone (am I mistaken?!) lurking behind the Android device. Similarly, on the part where they had their marketing department create a "Gaming" sample, the device used as controller looks very much like an iPhone, even the connector does.

the page title is "Clambook iPhone and Android Laptop Dock". The whole page makes it seem very android-specific though, and i have a hard time understanding how anything like this would be even possible on iOS.

  Well, as of now, you can actually do connect your phone to the apple tv[1]. And you can connect a BT Keyboard as well. And I think I've also seen games utilizing the second screen for a different purpose then simply for mirroring. I'm not so sure about the touchpad though. Still I find that page a little bogus.

In the small print: "Some of the ClamBook features highlighted may use modified software. It is important to note, most manufacturers strongly caution against installing any software that modifies the original device software (this process is often referred to as “jailbreaking” or “rooting”)." There are iOS AirPlay APIs for video mirroring on later devices[1] (you can even have different content on the external screen and phone's screen), though I'm not sure how they'd manage to connect a keyboard or trackpad. This strikes me as more of a design mockup than a viable product. The company does have existing products[2] but they're not nearly as polished.

  As I mentioned in reply to notatoad, you can connect bluetooth devices to your iOS device. The trackpad, is the interesting thing though. I don't think iOS has a concept of Mouse...
