Samsung and Motorola both offered docking phones as a new paradigm for 
desktop computing. Samsungs was a dock with HDMI and USB, Motorola had 
similar dock, but also had a "webtop", a laptop shell with keyboard, 
trackpad, screen, battery and a dock for the phone. Dock it in and you have 
a "laptop" with cellular networking. I think it might have been ahead of its 
time.

I like the idea of being able to use my phone as a computer; I have a 512 GB 
SD card in mine and treat it like an offsite backup of my media. And, with 
an "unlimited" plan, I don't need to worry about public wifi.
