I think phone processors have another generation to go before they can competently handle traditional desktop tasks. The Atrix laptop-dock is a really cool concept, but a mite before its time.

Still, it's useful in that it adds a keyboard to a smartphone, and for simple tasks (light surfing, sshing, emailing, document editing, etc) it could be very useful for a select few.

Does anyone know the duration a user can use the phone and laptop shell together? I would expect that the shell would need a battery to drive that large screen, and I would bet that it could charge the phone as well.
