We'll see. I just got the Droid Bionic, which has an optional dock (exactly
the same dock as the Atrix but different connections so the phones don't fit
each other's docks). We played with the dock, and it's just not there
yet...at least in my opinion. Sure, you can run a browser and see it on a
big screen. Or you can run apps on your phone, in a window the same size as
your phone (but with the keyboard and no touch screen).

Maybe someday a really cool OS which is the best of both worlds will come
along, running both the humongous programs and the agile, mobile ones at the
same time. But I really don't see it in the next few years. (Can you picture
Photoshop on a tablet? It barely runs on my, admittedly very light and
portable, laptop and it's as slow as molasses).

It will be interesting to see how it plays out, won't it? "May you live in
interesting times...."

Now that is a feature I really could get behind!  I think your use model
will be one that is pretty common, though I think quite a few people will
want to execute/mark off tasks on the go as well.
