I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

Futurama styled arm brace smart phones. My phone is always with me and smart watches are kinda really lame. An arm brace with a touch screen I can pull off and use would be awesome.

They make those for runners, a kind of neoprene sleeve that holds your phone on your arm either outside or inside so you can use it while you run. They're fairly easy to find.

As for pulling it off, you just have to wear it and not give a shit. that's the secret to pulling it off.

Well I have one of those and... if the phone would be 10x thinner and flexible it'd be amazing. As-is unless you have either huge flat arms or a tiny phone it's not ideal.

Edit: thinking about it I'd happily trade it for flexible touch eInk instead, don't think that exists yet
