Pocket computer phone

The Pocket Computer Phone is a category in hand held technology. What was once a multiple component, large footprint on the top of a desk can now fit into a pocket or purse. It is powered by a full desktop or laptop OS and all the applications available to that OS. While running a full OS it is also still a phone that is small enough to fit in a pocket.
A Pocket Computer Phone is dock-able to peripherals using technology such as Bluetooth® and HDMI output. This hand held technology then becomes the basis of workplace and personal home computing power. A setup at work may be a 27" flat screen accepting HDMI input and a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. A similar setup could be used with the same Pocket Computer Phone at home but modified to a 55" flat screen and surround sound system to enjoy HD movies streaming from Netflix®.
Special software can allow multitasked phone functionality making the hand held Pocket Computer a phone. Syncing contact information to a desktop workstation is no longer required as a Pocket Computer Phone is a pocket sized workstation. Having a web based teleconference such as a WebEx® initiated conference from Firefox® running on a Pocket Computer Phone could be possible with a Bluetooth® headset and a wireless service provider.
