people have discussed docking stations for the N800 (someone here posted pics of their home brew one which I thought pretty impressive).

I was wondering whether it'd be possible to make a clamshell using an N800 and a nano keyboard. (http://www2.multithread.co.uk/mtcsho...-_USB_main.jpg)

Take the back off both devices, and make a hinged backplate to which the N and the KB are attached, something like this:

the backplate would of course need to have some sculpting on it to get a good fit for both items. there would be space by the hinge to allow for usb cable, possibly even a tiny USB hub. there would have to be some sort of spacer ring round the N800 so that when the case was closed the keyboard wouldn't touch the screen.

of course, you could leave the backs on the devices but that would make them quite bulky and add weight; I suppose a halfway house would be to only mutilate the keyboard and leave the N800 stuck or strapped on?

if it were done professionally and a kit sold which was basically keyboard plus hinge thing, and all you did was attach your N800, would anyone buy it?
