We are wicked close to it. Technically the droid bionic with the hd dock
and lapdock could have matched it from a hardware perspective. And it
actually would have been functional. Te padfone has the phone/tablet mixup.
But is much more current hardware.

If done right the padfone having a love child with the transformer tablet
and desk dock with ubuntu touch OS would co er everything except console/pc
gaming.

That is my dream device. And so close. Someone just needs to decide to take
that step.
