Over a dozen years ago, I had a PDA with a keyboard attachment. It

Indeed. Most of the time, I only want to carry my phone. When I work
on-site, I want to carry my laptop. Right now, I have to carry my phone
AND my laptop. If the phone docked in the "laptop" as a peripheral, I'd
actually be carrying less than I do now. And when I'm at home, I'd dock
the phone into a full size monitor and keyboard. I'd have my data with
me all the time, without having to sync between multiple devices. How
does that not sound awesome?
