Sorry I did not read this before the last message that I posted.  The only
thing that I see wrong with what you are talking about is the Mouse stuff.
 What If I have a mouse attached to a phone ? That is why I think that it
is best to look at options that just look at the screen. But I am sure that
there is flaws in my ideas there always is : ) . at any rate something
needs to be done about the form-factor thingy.  have a good one.
