So...it's a screen, a keyboard, and a battery? Am I getting that right?

I find it interesting that they went from a phone dock to the exact opposite of a phone dock. Like, a 100% pivot. There isn't even an optional way to attach the phone to the thing. It just has to be on a firm surface. Maybe one of the backer tiers should include duct tape. So, for example, if you wanted to leave a secondary phone permanently attached to this, you'd still have to disconnect it to move the thing or put it in a backpack or anything like that. Not sure how to refer to it. I'm not calling it a superbook since it's literally not a *book. It's some kind of combined peripheral.

Do people understand that this isn't going to do anything when a phone isn't connected to it?

Looks neat. Any odds this is feasible with an iPhone as well?
