I think it's very interesting, even if it were just for it's originality and it's plainness.

I had not seen this idea anywhere before, and neither found it after a search on applenova.

Although I do wonder how large the resulting phone would be, and how they'd make the connection sturdy enough to keep it from breaking when it's in my pocket (expecially if it has a keypad)...

Ha! I suggested that two years ago!

That's hilarious. And possibly brilliant, depending on the implementation. I recommended all-voice dialing, since I couldn't work out a way to make the UI work.

My god, that's a stupid idea. Not only is the iPod already bigger & heavier than nearly any phone on the market, but to think of adding onto it and making it still bigger, heavier, and adding clumsiness?

Stupid. Retarded. Doesn't make any sense.

(bump, and thank God I actually wasn't wrong this time... LOL

Handspring tried this years ago with the VisorPhone. It failed miserably.

Ahh, the VisorPhone. My buddy in college had one... we used to laugh at him so much.

I can see why

Funny, the tech from Visor Phone turned up in the Treo...

so it wasn't a total bomb.

Man, I forgot all about the Visor Phone.

Shows what a success it was (or wasn't).
