Apple patents docking station… needs improvement

Docking Station

Mac Rumors picked up on the fact that Apple has patented a Docking Device that looks strikingly similar to an iMac. As seen in the picture above, you would take your notebook, slide it into your iDock, and have a desktop computer. It is unclear whether the Dock has a display built in, or if this is designed for a tablet-like device so that the tablet’s screen would face out through the display area of the iDock.

I actually really like this product on a few conditions: First, the chin must go. It has no practicality here. The chin going will take care of this mostly, but it needs to ditch the iMac resemblance. It needs to be made unique. And lastly, it could be really completely awesome if this thing came with the rumored ultra-portable at MacWorld. And even cooler if this was bundled with the Mac Tablet, so that it becomes a multi-touch desktop in essence.
