Why do we really need to plug into a larger screen to display the
interface. Can this not be done in wireless form in combination with QR
Code/NFC? Like if I pair it with a larger screen the phone should
automatically stream an interface for the larger screen. It would be like a
combination of Airdroid and Nexphone. This will help to maintain a single
device for all forms of docks like tablet, desktop, TV. Only the interface
which needs to be streamed will have to be changed.
