I had a motorola phone that had a desktop dock but back then phones were not really fast enough for a desktop. I think it was the same chipset the Pandora had if I remember correctly, I had my phone, my Pandora, and my Archos 10.1(?) that all had the same chipset.
The fan on this dock is pretty nifty though, and did I hear there was a hard drive in the dock? Pretty sweet if it had some extra storage in it. When I had my phone with the dock I thought that was the future for sure but it never really happened. I think it all depends on Google, they need to merge their chrome OS and Android so when plugged into HDMI it turns into a full desktop OS. This one looks a little annoying to use.
