I really like this modular screen idea and it’s been one that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. The report talks about a combination keyboard and screen that can be combined with an iMate smartphone to provide a full-screen experience. A bit like a notebook PC without the PC. It could be super-thin, portfolio-sized and if it houses one of those fantastic 1024×600 screens from Samsung and a decent keyboard I’m sold already! Even better would be a little dock where you could fold out a keyboard and screen and just sit a UMPC on top. Imagine the Everun docking station with a screen, keyboard and built in battery pack. A bit like this:
Yes, its a terrible terrible drawing but you get the idea right?
Speaking of iMate, what happened to the iMate 7150 Ultimate? iMate seem to be pushing different designs now. This iMate 9502 looks pretty appealing though. Given a decent browser technology, VGA could be acceptable for most people.
