And the screen size is kind of important if you are going to be working on a spreadsheet or something similar to that, where you need to see a fairly big picture(PDA size now, and not phone size now). There is quite a difference in that. But maybe times will change and people won't mind carrying around the new Phone all-in-one's.

I seem to recall a some news/discussion about a cell phone with a laser that would draw a picture of the one you were talking to you directly on your eye...

This was a couple of years ago...

Now if they would get that tech good enough for everyday use, without the person using it going blind, that might pave the way for small all-in-one's on which you could work on very large spreadsheets, watch video & such...

Though I'm wondering how you would place the laser to make sure that it would allways draw correctly at your eye... Considering most things are getting smaller and smaller, placing it on the phone/pda/whatever might not be the best idea...

Just thought I'd intereject that little info...

Yes, I remeber hearing about this a while ago, and like you said I don't think it is going to be feasable. Just imagine all the people who would bump into each other because they are busy looking at a movie and not the sidewalk, or even worse, in a car while driving. I think this sort of thing is going to turn out like the phone cameras, where they can cause more harm than they could be worth. Meaning they would have to be regulated to not use while driving or walking, only while sitting down.

But the theory would be kind cool.
Of course that is if the laser doesn't burn your retina :hotbounce :hotouch:
