Didn't a number of major vendors (Motorola, Microsoft..) already do this and failed to find a market for it?

Wouldn't calling your company "Andromium" infringe on two trademarks simultaneously?
It does reminds me of the el-cheapo Panashiba stereo I had as a student, though.
I'd rather connect a display, keyboard and mouse to my phone. But the UI needs a cursor, and a file system. If I recall correctly Ubuntu wanted to try that, as did Microsoft. Too early to market perhaps.
But I already have a laptop..
If you have a MBP 16gb or a Surface Pro 4 (or.. next year.. a SP5?) then this probably isn't going to be your every-day-carry.
It's kickstarter which means it won't actually ship until at least a year after it claims. And there's no way they're going to provide a decent keyboard, touchpad and screen for $99 and still make a profit. It'll ship late and be probably 2x that cost at which point you should just get a chromebook. Or, ya know, use the laptop you already have.

Shouldn't - to be infringing it has to be in the same industry (check), and substantially similar in sound, graphic design or spelling to the point that it would confuse the proverbial "average person". Is "Andromium" and more confusing than "Andromeda" to someone who wants to buy an Android phone? It does reminds me of the el-cheapo Panashiba stereo I had as a student, though.
