Uhmmm! How to "nick" an old idea improve on it and run away with it years later. Or how an idea was ahead of its time for its own good!
Design-wise it is a much improved model for sure! No flaming please! I'm very fragile....

More like nicking the video out on the N8, as the dock has a hdmi and usb side by side. So basically it is video out via hdmi, and keyboard and mouse in via usb.
That redfly is more like a VNC session, as it sets up a virtual screen and transfers the data over the usb cable (this is why a later model introduced a separate video in port as the virtual screen can not handle proper video). And i recall there is a program for windows that can do the same, putting the winmob "desktop" in a window.
Hell, Microsoft toyed with a similar idea around the turn of the century for hooking a winmob phone up to a tv to provide "computing" to the developing world.

Notice that last bit, that means the low, low price of $149.99 will only be available with a (probably very expensive) contract.
Hell I would love to get one if it was a MeeGO device.

This is the direction I'd like to see Nokia heading in, with all their "mobile computer" mumbo jumbo. The mobile computer as a home computer would be satisfactory for many users who only need it for email, web browsing, instant messaging, document storage etc. Of course to offer this kind of functionality Nokia will require extensive, reliable and easy to use cloud services and sadly Nokia are years away from having that, if they ever have it.

The security system they're using has no achilles heel, short of someone leaking Motorola's private key or a lucky, early hit on the encryption key.
Didn't help anyone who bought the Milestone in Europe.
What can and can't you do if they lock it down? Is it confirmed it will be locked down?
Would much rather support the next gen of Maemo / Meego assuming the hardware is good but getting tired of waiting. Especially waiting on EDGE on ATT.

yes: http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/11/...g-Down-Android
however, when docked, it appears to be running plain old ubuntu, which depending on how they've done it might be the device's security's achilles heel.

maybe a sim-free one bought as unlocked will be less locked down? one can hope, but I don't think so.
