    I was sat on the train the other day

    And I was thinking, those little tablet / transformer things are cool but a bit underpowered for real work. So then I thought, if you have this new fangled wireless display technology why not have one of those tablets or very thin whateverbooks that could also work as a wireless display / touchscreen / keyboard etc and a little box full of magic for when you need to do some real work.

    Will it catch on?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          I'm thinking more along the lines of a box perhaps the size of a 3.5" external drive or a bit bigger with a powerful CPU, RAM, GPU etc in it.

            aye I understand but I was suggesting you look at their adoption.

              Yes but I'm not talking about something that lets you access applications running on a server, I'm talking about something that would function more like a docking station for your transformer / iPad but it would contain more computing power, storage etc rather than just some extra IO ports.
