Keyboards for mobile phones are around for some time since the ericsson t10 with its small external qwerty keyboard. Video output from mobile devices are even older, the texas instument ti8x series of graphical calculators being the first ones to support video out with a plug-in signal converter. Everything was around 20 years ago, but most companies tought there is no market for it. This is the same story as the story of the personal computer from xerox and another company who saw business potential in it, called apple.

ps: A wireless video out profile standard for bluetooth would accelearte uptake of this technology without microsoft's help.
