Problem space
Phones have become capable enough so that you can chat, email, run apps, or do a variety of other tasks with it. While this gives more control to the user on-the-go, it also requires the user to divide focus & switch between two devices when working from another PC. This can get very tedious as the switch becomes more frequent.
