Seems to me that the issue here is input method. If someone comes up with an input method better than a keyboard, then the form-factor large enough for a keyboard looks far less attractive.

And the screen. Editing XLS files on a phone is brutal. I've done it. There are a lot of websites that I like being much larger than on an iPhone too.

There are already goggles that give you a virtual 30" screen. If they can figure out why some people get a headache and solve that, then "big enough for a keyboard" goes out the window.

How about a one-handed, wearable chording keyboard?
