For me personally, I have a desktop that I use when I’m in my office. My netbook goes with me everywhere else. So for me, docking stations have no appeal.
If your only PC is your netbook, then perhaps a docking station makes sense. Even so, I think it’s a stretch.
What do you think?

DOC’s have always been my complaint about Netbooks. I think this will bridge the gap for corporate acceptance of Netbooks.
On a deeper look, this is only USB supported and not an actual Port Replicator or docking station. It is a nice start but nothing special. In the future I see true docking stations and Netbooks replacing the clunky and bulky executive laptops. Most of the times traveling executives only run a presentation, email client, spreadsheets and documents. Netbooks currently handle these apps with ease.
