Isn't steam frame basically a phone strapped to your face? It's arm based, it has a battery, speakers, microphones, cameras, radio, a screen (even two)... all it needs is a GSM module. Software would probably be the biggest issue but that's where linux and all the compatibility stuff Valve has been working on comes in. If it wasn't marketed strictly as a phone but a PC in your pocket I think it could work. Sadly, you're probably right tho.
