Well, most notebooks have a headset plug ... don't they? Maybe it's just a headphone plug ... <sigh> ... I'd have to investigate. However, it wouldn't be pleasant to have to cover the table with an array of attachments. After all, there's already the notebook, and the "brick", not to mention a cup of coffee or tea and a plate of biscuits ... and whatever paperwork I have.



If only it could be done with fewer external devices ... most cellphones have only one USB port ... now you need a hub ... and so on.

Keep in mind that the original discussion topic was the flexible display, and I mentioned that it would allow attachment of a sizeable display to one of those itty-bitty "smartphones", which might, in fact, encourage ME to buy one.

Nonetheless, if there were to be a simple way to handle cellular traffic on a notebook, so, while I'm WiFi'ing at the cafe, waiting for a colleague, he could call/text me to let me know that he's running late, or whatever, and I could text him back using my even-by-me-readable display and normal-size keyboard. I'd buy such a thing if it could be integrated into my cellular service plan, tightwad that I am, and that says to me that there's an opportunity ... for someone ... probably someone else, though ... here. The only real issue is integrating it into a single USB-attached device, hardware and software.
