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.<div>

<pre>Android is also on a path to take over desktops and laptops. A new Galaxy
Smart Dock allows your Android phone to become a desktop computer by
connecting an HD monitor, external storage, USB keyboard and mouse for
just $99. Now an Android phone can also be your entire desktop computer.
Hardware will only get better and cheaper and the Android OS is free.

I think that phones are powerful enough to do what most people need.  And I say that as I&#39;m checking e-mail because I&#39;m waiting for packages to build on my phone.  I&#39;m not sure that Android will be the winner there, it&#39;s a big transition to go to desktop use-cases, just like it&#39;s hard to go the other way as well.  The trend to convergence is clear though.<br>

Here&#39;s a nice video on it that you can send to non-technical friends:<br>
