Exactly! Using existing smartphones as a reference point, I can see a SlimPort-enabled Neo900 encroaching quite a bit on the more "casual" duties of typical laptops and even light (casual) desktop usage--and that's really what I mean when I refer to it as a "replacement" for any given device. The Neo900 could very well be a 'feature monster', as you put it--as opposed to most current smartphones, which are more like 'Facebook monsters'. Just having more control over the underlying OS and not being forced to use an "app" for everything puts something like the Neo900 leagues ahead of most alternatives.
