Here's an image (Photoshop) in case you don't want to hit the article:
Slogan is too close to Pocket Pool or something more "in your pocket" innuendoish.
And the price of the new monitor? Definitely pushes this past a combined $1,000 system already.

Actually, was thinking $399 for the iPhone & $299 for the iPhone Desktop (the docking station, pictured above) --- for a total of $698. Add a keyboard and mouse, and you're around $850 all together.
iPhone desktop could be a straight-froward Mac or PC app dude. When you're plugged in and you get a call iPhone desktop takes over. End of discussion.
What the hell is this?

I agree. In fact, that actually sounds kind of interesting.
This docking station thing, on the other hand, is crap. No one will want it.

They are just messing with people. There's a patent that won't see the light of day, ever.

Well now it must be a legitimate news story!!! Wow!!!
You know what, I suddenly REALLY hope Apple does just randomly patent things just to f**k with us!
Apple patents many concepts which will never see the light of day or are impractical for the marketplace. They are more of engineering and design exercises to explore ideas.
