Who is going to provide the applications for this? An e-reader in the back of the phone is pure genius, but it won't amount to much if it cannot access the Amazon (or similar) store.

The funny part:

"There is a micro-USB charging port on your popSLATE that passes charge through to your phone so you don't have to take the cover off."   Devil

Forget what it was called, but laptops had a small LCD on the bottom or something and you could read emails and stuff...never saw any use case in which someone would use that.

Unfortunately it was pricey, OEM's once again screwed it up, and the whole thing ran on the gadgets framework (IIRC) which was never quite up to snuff.

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I think the explosion of smartphones kind of made it moot.

*snip*

If you think about it, SideShow was the precursor of the notifications on the lock screen of Windows8/Phone8.  The idea was there, but the implementation was lacking.  Given the thin low power displays you can get these days it might have worked better.
