An idea for HTC...

i like your idea... it is great!

but here are a few things to consider:

1. make a small docking port sleeve/case adaptor for different phones; so customers can purchase the sleeve for their particular Android phone. that way, as they upgrade phones.. then they might be able to just buy a $20/30 sleeve. This open to a larger the target market and allow for a longer device-life of use. this adaptor can also be a case for the phone when it is outside the isleeve.

2. you have to consider the different android OS that each new phone might have. So the software in the iSleeve might be upgraded / updated via the Cloud for thier particular device.

3. What about the custom ROMS?? How will that affect the 2 devices working together.

4. make sure that the sleeve and phone has a secure way to lock into the isleeve. bad news if you have phones falling out.. in middle of transporting.

5. Your price point should be under $150 to make this viable.

6. Sprint (all carriers) will hate this idea!!! this will greatly raise the use of data. but will not make them any $$ to compensate for extra data use. They will 100% fight this or find a way to charge $10-25 more per month (At&T data cap!!!!!)
