SOmething between a PDA and a laptop could succeed. Picture an iPhone clone, but with a 5" screen. Add 3G. Now you can go on the internet anywhere, anytime, comfortably.

I don't believe something between a PDA and a laptop will ever have any significant market. It's simple... either it fits in a bag or it fits in a pocket. If it has the disadvantages that usually come with fitting in a pocket, but needs to fit in a bag then it's useless. This simple fact of life is not going to change until a new display technology is invented.
The problem is that geeks like us are coming up with these product designs. We all drool over this but it doesn't allow technology to improve the quality of life of it's users in any shape or form. It just creates more junk to lug around, more variations of interfaces, software, form factors... and ... worse of all... yet more chargers to pack in your suitcase. ugh.

I think a touch screen scratch pad would really work. Good old stylus and text recognition on a touch screen the size of a DVD case. Possibly a fold out.
I commented on another post here a couple days ago that touted Rogers two voice lines to one cell phone and cited the problem being then you don't have the other device to take notes on.
I'd never buy something for my pocket with a keyboard.
