The idea is not bad, but they are working on obselete technology. What they should be working on are extension screens for even smaller computers - think of a very flat panel with a slot for an iphone that immediately expands the iphone screen into a 20 inch thing.

The computer itself should be expensive, but the screen part of things should be cheap.

There were rumors Apple patented this a year or so ago.

What do you mean "rumours"? Patents are open and available for all to see.

Yeah, but who actually goes to the patent office to look for ideas he can license to build products?
