And it also means if a component breaks or is stolen, it can be replaced.

I wonder if that could be adapted for multimonitor desktops somehow? Ok, that QR / photo idea is downright neat. I wonder if that could be adapted for multimonitor desktops somehow?

The MSRA required special software, bluetooth, and only worked with pairs of devices if i remember correctly. It did have one feature this doesn't though. If you were watching a video on one phone, and brought a second phone next to it, the video would automatically span. Separate the phones, and it went back to single screen mode. I still don't know what the point of these things are though. i saw a similar technology at Microsoft Research Asia three years ago.

There's a single point where the glass is cut away and a defunct or broken iphone is rubber-cemented into the hole. Passers by can use the touch interface to control the massive patchwork graphics display. Either for art installation purposes, or to give a 'junkyard chic' style to a digital advertisement for the store. Very cool stuff.

However I doubt it'd be better than the technology we already have for said activity. I’m pretty sure it’d work on any screen that can navigate to a website (watch the vid).
