What if your phone was a removable part of your netbook. Ala the "Folio" by Palm. I think their implementation and specs were off, but I think the idea has huge possibilities. Take a razor sized iPhone that can slip into a "netbook" sized form-factor keyboard & screen ( ports, mic & camera) and damn! you've got quite the machine.
Further, when docked the phone can gain access to extra CPU cycles AND extra RAM/GPU support as well. I don't know why no one has done this yet. If a single set up cost about $800 (before operator discounting) and $300 after, I bet they'd be bought at a rate that would work for both manufacturer and operator alike. Moto, Nokia, Aus, Samsung, I see a huge leap frog for you guys. BB could never do it, and Apple hasn't done it yet (and you can work faster than Apple). Anyway, that's me! -- dave -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
