Yeah, but have it power all the peripherals of a full desktop. It could hot swap by dropping it into a magnetic dock/cradle whenever you need to "do some work", and then pick it up and walk away and all the desktop peripherals go back into hibernation.

I want this, but not limited to only tablets.

I want to own a single "pocket computer" and that's it, no more syncing, just a single device. I can drop it into a dock on my desk, that breaks out the I/O into a 30" display, keyboard, trackpad, speakers, and it activates the Mac desktop environment.

Unplug from the dock, it pauses everything I'm doing on the desktop, and it goes back into my pocket and uses the touch screen.

Some of the open source phone projects are interesting. But I stopped carrying a phone entirely about 3 years ago.

HN is a weird crowd, so this obviously isn't a solution for +99% of people. But I'm choosing to opt out entirely. Living in the 90s is annoying when coordinating with unreliable people, but this isn't some kind of impossible feat. I don't even think about it anymore, it's a non-issue. Just get on with it.
