"With this, I need just the phone."

You still need the keyboard and monitor, don't you?. If you are traveling, it would probably be best if they snapped together into a nice, book-like shape. Like a laptop, but with the computer conveniently removed?

Regarding money-saving at a 10,000 PC corporation.. really? First, they would have to use Ubuntu, and they use Windows. Second, its not really that much money. Even if this is free in the sense that they need to have a phone anyway, they still need the monitor & stuff. If they were happy with an ubuntu appliance PC, I'm sure they could get the computer part of the computer in micro computer form for $200 or so every 3-5 years if the saving was worth it. Most importantly, phones break, get lost or stolen.

I don't see it.



Find me an equivalent in a micro computer form for $200 or so.

Find me an equivalent in a cellphone form for 830$.

Now find me an equivalent that do both.

I don't think it's a really good idea to replace everything with a single device, but you can't say that it's not less expensive.
