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.

Android has a cursor. If you connect a mouse using a USB On-The-Go cable (essentially a micro to full-size USB adapter) you'll see it appear. Keyboards and game pads work too.
Didn't a number of major vendors (Motorola, Microsoft..) already do this and failed to find a market for it?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
I think OC meant "android + chromium".
And I mentioned my Panashiba stereo because it was an obvious mix of Panasonic and Toshiba, but was not a trademark infringement of either.
Is Usb 2.0 fast enough for this kind of application?
Does the Superbook require MHL? Nope. The Superbook doesn’t use MHL technology--instead, it uses Displaylink technology
Check out http://displaylink.com/downloads/android for more info!
I haven't personally tried a Displaylink device yet but It looks like it works well with USB 2.0.

Chromebooks start at $149. This is just a Kickstarter price claim, not a real price. It will probably increase after launch, after which it will no longer be competitive.
