Microsoft patent filing: Mobile phone + TV = PC

Interesting... 

Two Microsoft researchers, Kentaro Toyama and Sean Blagsvedt, are seeking a patent on technology that would essentially create a makeshift PC by connecting a mobile phone to a television. It would use the phone's processing power and wireless connection, in conjunction with the TV display, to access the Web and do other basic computing tasks. The application describes it as one alternative to traditional computers in developing nations.
