I agree with your sentiment, but I think someone is going to figure out a device that does what a smartphones does, minus the "carry around" bit. And I don't think it'll take 50 years. Google glass wasn't it, but that doesn't mean it's not happening.

well we always can have a ST:TNG generation inspiration and use jewelry or similarly disguised devices at the communication device. Still the one point against miniaturization is how do you visually communicate something?
if anything the smartphone will just become. become an everything. it will seamlessly interact with whatever device is nearby that you want to use and be the source point for your data and inquiries. get in your car, it takes over the center console. sit down at your desk and you work is right there like you left it. need to show a group something, point it at a display.
