Continuum everywhere with one of these?

Just saw this KIckstarter project, imagine being able to throw up a portable music bit it like this with Continuum in your phone (I have no connection to this project)

720p really? Cool concept but wonder what the screen will look like after it is stored for a month or 2.

Low res 24" monitor the size of a CRT for $500? I like the concept but I don't think I could justify buying one of these even if it were $100, and I love wasting money on this kind of stuff.

I get the portability aspect of it, but in order to use it like a computer you'd still need a keyboard and mouse, and if you're carrying all of that around, why not just carry a laptop or a tablet?

The only real use I see for this is for giving presentations on the road where you won't have access to a real monitor or projector, or maybe it would come in handy for a field tech. It seems like the idea is just too far ahead of the technology, especially considering the price.

That all said, it's getting a lot of backing so maybe the average person sees a lot more utility in it than I do.

I think it's cool. But for that price ($500 USD retail price) you can probably get a small but bigger projector and a small screen bigger than 24''. An interesting gadget to have if you have a lot of money and don't mind adding this for the fun of it. It's nice that it has a battery.
