I'd be keen if it didn't cost too much and if it did a decent job. At the very least, this seems to be offering the former. Some of the apps being proposed do sound compelling, albeit unsurprising (example 1, example 2), and provide a service that can't be provided by current smartphones (although they could conceivably be met by the next generation of smartphones with a suitable attachment).

You know, I didn't think about it until you raised it, but that virtual laptop scene is gobsmackingly stupid. I'd like to think it represents a failure by their PR department than a lack of imagination by the inventors themselves. Perhaps I'm being too optimistic.
