I had this dream in 2010 (not literally a dream, just a notion) that someday, we'd replace desktops with phones... like, sit down at a desk, attach it to a dock, it would connect to a monitor, mouse and keyboard and you could use it like a desktop PC. I suppose we could already do that, other than that the software would still be phone apps not made to be used with a mouse or for the most part a landscape screen.

There was a motorola phone meant to do that a long while back too. I assume other manufacturers have made one... I'll check that out!

Oh, I see it's a software system and not a specific device. That's cool. Well damn, I even had a Galaxy S9 and didn't know about that.

Aah, the good old Motorola Atrix.

One of the earliest Laptop/phone combo devices I remember releasing.

Nice, that's the one I was thinking of!
