It&amp;#x27;s useful but not useful enough. It&amp;#x27;s the sort of experience that works in a pinch but a laptop or desktop delivers a much better desktop experience, and there is no proper RDP app. The MS RDP app doesn&amp;#x27;t go full screen.&lt;p&gt;For this to catch on, in my mind, it needs to provided an experience that can replace a desktop, otherwise having to have a dock, monitor, keyboard &amp;amp; mouse, might as well just add an Intel compute stick and have a 10 times better experience.</text><parent_chain><item><author>FreakyT</author><text>It&amp;#x27;s definitely neat, but I feel like this has been done before without success -- examples like the Motorola Atrix, Windows Continuum, and even the cancelled Ubuntu Phone come to mind. (And, going further back in time, let&amp;#x27;s not forget the Palm Foleo!)&lt;p&gt;It seems like a neat idea on the surface though, so I wonder why as a concept the phone-connected-to-desktop-peripherals thing hasn&amp;#x27;t gained more traction. My suspicion is that there isn&amp;#x27;t really a target user that this makes more sense for. Who happens to keep desktop peripherals on their desk but only does lightweight productivity tasks? CEOs who only answer email? Certainly not software developers or even accounting people.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Samsung DeX</title><url>http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-dex/</url></story>

No need to carry around and worry about a laptop anymore.&lt;p&gt;For such a setup to work and really make sense though it&amp;#x27;d have to be available as near-ubiquitous infrastructure one could expect in every hotel and every office.&lt;p&gt;I suppose, however, the travelling tradesman &amp;#x2F; digital nomad target audience just isn&amp;#x27;t large and profitable enough (as of now at least) to warrant such a large-scale infrastructure undertaking.</text><parent_chain><item><author>FreakyT</author><text>It&amp;#x27;s definitely neat, but I feel like this has been done before without success -- examples like the Motorola Atrix, Windows Continuum, and even the cancelled Ubuntu Phone come to mind.
