DeX, Continuum - 'almost useable'
(All About Windows Phone)

Michael Fisher is one of the biggest YouTubers who`s also open to `think different`, in terms of smartphones, accessories, folding, and extending. In the video below he takes the NexDock 360 and a variety of smartphones (and cables!) for a real world spin, an overnight trip sans laptop. His verdict at the end of a tremendously detailed video? That the tragedy of DeX (and Continuum, `Ready For`, etc.) is that it`s almost useable. Almost. With a capital `A`. It`s good enough that you can envision this sort of smartphone extension as `the future` - but it`s also buggy and problematic enough in terms of current hardware and software that you can`t live with it right now, even seven years after Microsoft first delivered Continuum and over a decade after Motorola tested the ground with its Atrix system.
