so simple...so elegant...so cool...
So why hasn't it been done before...
Among other things, my idea is to take a 6700-like device & separate keyboard from display....
This would include:
-linkage through multiple bt gateways,
-UltraSlimBattery inside display (likely that the display will need to be made slightly larger to accommodate)
-Ability to recharge display battery off of main battery automatically when attached
-Certain functions could be disabled when unattached, and enabled when attached.
-When unattached you could set an alarm to warn when bt signal is lost - thus not allowing them to separate too far...which in turn could be used to keep track of anything within 30 feet from getting lost...ie-children, purse, luggage..or wherever else you place a phone part.
With a detachable, rechargeable, wireless keyboard, you can have your cake and eat it too!
And if something happens to the display perhaps only a swap of the display and a bt re-pairing will be needed...so no loss of programming, setup, etc... = less headache for consumer and less expense for provider.
Of course there are numerous software changes we would all like to see, but this was something I was thinking about in regards to hardware modifications and the resulting possibilities.
I'm sure this isn't a new idea, although I haven't heard it anywhere else, but perhaps it needs revisiting....even if for nothing other than being part of consumer demand.
I created a functioning tivo-like system many years before Tivo was even a name, and I know it only takes a little consumer demand for the supply to catch up.
...please... no raining on my raging!
and while I'm wishing...why not add:
-Solar Panel casing to trickle-charge the phone (perhaps more of a selling feature / conversation piece / emergency situation solution than an everyday working function...like almost everything else)
