What can't you do with a kickstand?
I am actually most excited about the kickstand. All the technical specs are pretty damn impressive but it sort of comes with the territory for new and advancing smartphones. For years I have been struggling to position my phone at work and at home using Macgyver-like tactics, and including a kickstand is a very convenient design consideration that I would very much appreciate. Here's why:
- I control multiple machines using Logmein at work. Having the EVO propped up next to me would eliminate the need to keep flipping back and forth in my browser just to perform simple tasks.
- Instead of setting up a clunky laptop next to my newborn, I could just set the EVO to live-stream my my son's crib, acting as a baby monitor.
- It will almost feel like a secondary monitor for status updates, feeds, etc.
- Hands-free 5 hour plane-rides. Period.
- You're either carrying a dull letter opener, or a rather uncomfortable stabbing device.
Most importantly, it just looks cool.
