1. A method for use in a dockable device comprising:
executing at least one application in the dockable device using a first processor;
determining whether the dockable device is in a docked state or an undocked state while at least one application is being executed using the first processor; and
initiating an application migration for the at least one application from the first processor to a second processor in a docking station responsive to determining that the dockable device is in a docked state, wherein the at least one application continues to execute during the application migration from the first processor to the second processor.
