10.1" HDMI Screen with attached keyboard and touchpad! (Motorola Lapdock 100) for $49.99 + free shipping
Yeah, yeah. It's a smartphone lapdock. Me, I like to think a bit more outside the box though. Looking a bit more closely, this is a small HDMI screen and a USB keyboard/mouse!
Imagine an additional (albeit small) computer screen - perhaps one to watch Netflix/Hulu/etc? Imagine the possibilities when you add a Raspberry Pi, Android Mini PC, or other device that requires only power, HDMI, and USB? (Many of which are under $50.) The possibilities are literally 3+!

It seems pretty cool, too bad I don't have any of those Motorola devices. Does anyone know for sure if this works with other devices? Also can it show both screens at the same time?
@thelastpiece - This is from that amazon link you provided:
"The Lapdock 100 is compatible with multiple Motorola smartphones, including Motorola ATRIX 2, PHOTON 4G, and DROID BIONIC by Motorola. It will also be compatible with future Motorola webtop-enabled devices."
@thelastpiece: There are a bunch of websites and Youtube videos out there showing how it easily connects to other devices with some cheap adapters. It can even be used as a second monitor for laptops and desktops.
Think icemonkey is part of Dailsteals,no way I would buy from them
Here's one link that shows how to set it up for the Pi. Looks easy enough.

Funny you posted this, I was just thinking about getting one of these :D

I was looking at the DROID Bionic Lapdock though.. is there any difference - anyone know? (It's an inch bigger, that's why I care :) )
Best I can see is that the ports are arranged slightly different and there's no cable integrated.
@jmbunkin: They have slow shipping, but I've bought quite a few items through Daily Steals and Icemonkey. I've never had a problem with not getting my item. If you are worried, they take PayPal.
The one thing I wouldn't do is buy something from them, expecting to have your item before Christmas. It may or may not arrive by then. I've had them take a month to get stuff to me. For the price, this seems like a great deal though. I don't mind waiting 'til January if that's how it works out.
@jackofallgames42: Slow shipping is a given with dailysteals. How about not giving me a credit for an item they never shipped and knew they were not going to ship,not contacting me to let me know and then after me emailing them 7-8 times it took them almost 10 weeks to finally issue the credit. Got an item from them once that was obviously used and another time a product that arrived in about 6-8 pieces because the tossed it in a plastic bag put a label on it and shipped it.
I have ordered from them more than a dozen times but with me it's three strikes you're out. I order from 8-10 sites frequently and Dailysteals is the worst I've dealt with.Suggest you rersearch others who have had problems with them before you get taken.
I hope you don't have difficulty with your order but since I have, I want people to know about it.
@jmbunkin: Yikes! I'm sorry to hear that's happened. I've also ordered from them at least a dozen times. (I wouldn't post the deal if I thought they were really bad.) I haven't had a single experience like that. As for trouble getting a refund, that's why I use PayPal. If I open a claim through PayPal and they ignore it, I get my money back by default. I'll admit that I don't trust them as much as other sites, but I still trust them enough to buy from them...using PayPal.
If anyone does really want this item and is concerned about Daily Steals, 1saleaday has the same item for $10 more ($59.99 w/ free shipping) at Ben's Outlet: http://bensoutlet.com/products/motorola-lapdock-100. They're another daily deal type of site, but it's another option. Amazon has these too, but they're closer to $80 from what I'm seeing.
