Neat, though there's a lot of visible cable clutter to this. You both have a device now affixed to your tablet (with a cable), and then a cable down from your wall mount to a power outlet.

Maybe this is great if like, wall mounting your tablet is your primary use case for it, such as a home automation controller. But I can't see the average user wanting to affix a wall mount to the back of their iPad.

Yeah there are applications where I can see this being useful and a smart-home controller is there at the top for sure. There are also applications like co-working space meeting room management, store shopping terminals etc.

As for consumers, I think it may be popular with those who like the minimalist approach, although you there are still cables, you are right. I think I'll get one though.
