There's ideas like this every couple of years, and I love the idea, but they never seem to go anywhere. I think Nokia's Maemo/Meego was the first, and it keeps popping up, but it never seems to go anywhere. I understand this one has been dead for a couple of years now too.
- adamors 1y agoWould be a good HN convention to add (dead) after a project like older posts get tagged with the year.
- fsflover 1y agoIt's probably the same as adding (2019) to the title about an OS, isn't it?
- altairprime 1y agoEverywhere I might hook up my phone to a monitor there is already either a preexisting computer hooked up, my laptop with its ultra flat keyboard trackpad combo to hook up, and/or lacking the appropriate back support and table height for me for me to ergonomically use a keyboard and mouse there. This might make sense for someone who travels a lot and wants to work in odd places but the assumption that people can Find A Monitor That Has A Keyboard Flatspace In The Wild is what’s broken. This product would have been wildly successful if they just released it as a laptop case for a phone, Framework-style. Dock your phone into the PCMCIA slot to activate the laptop, etc.

- altairprime 1y agoYep. Lot more market for that. Dunno how much, though! Does it have a battery?
- fsflover 1y agoYes.
- WorldPeas 1y agowould be cooler if it were something like the razer linda where you dock the phone as a touchpad
