Nokia Says Big Screen over USB (Made for Future Internet Tablet?)

Nokia is reportedly working on a new project called noBounds that will provide a low-power solution for mobile users to expand their Smartphones and Internet Tablet (namely N800, N810) to higher res external displays such as LCD monitors and projectors to name a few. Since every high-end phones these days have WiFi and USB, Nokia chose to experiment with those two interfaces. In the video, you will see that a Nokia N810 is connected to a USB keyboard, mouse and to a USB monitor(?) creating a workstation. Interfacing with a 'USB' monitor would require firmware update the display itself; though, it's uncertain how this is going to be implemented if Nokia eventually makes noBounds a reality. Nokia is also confident that noBounds can do 1080p over wired USB at 30fps. Video demo after the jump.
