Another attempt to differentiate for apparently no other reason than to be different. We don’t have much, if any, Detail, but what happens if someone calls me on the phone while the things docked in the tablet? It doesn’t save space unless you pack your phone in the tablet – kinda limits being able to make or take calls. The only advantage I can see is that it saves on a processor and storage, so it should be cheap.

But that raises the issue of how people use tablets. They aren’t just Smartphones with bigger screens – I have quite a different set of apps on my iPad than I do on my iPhone, and I use them in different ways.

Maybe this will appeal to a few budget-conscious techies but I don’t see this as a great idea:
