I would totally buy and use a phone large enough to fit an eoma68 CPU card.  But there may not be wide enough appeal to get the costs down to a reasonable number.

There was a lot of hype around the ability to dock your phone into a desktop so you only have to carry one computer.  It should be possible to ride off of that hype by demonstrating popping your CPU card out and putting it in a desktop/laptop housing and vice versa.

It just makes so much more sense to separate the core CPU card from the "peripherals" like you did with EOMA.
