I rather suspect that one of the more practical implementations of wireless for mobile users will be in getting images into pairs of glasses. Direct retinal or passive displays presented in front of one or both eyes (a simple toggle for this), combined with a variable-opacity LCD lens laminate would offer see-through or opaque images, as needed. Input via a thin slab of flexible, pocketable material around 3" x 4", with fingers or a stylus, would provide radio-linked input for navigation, graphics work, writing, whatever, with the results displayed instantly in the glasses. Similarly, such an input panel could output to any nearby display as desired, making it essentially a universal mouse.
Just a thought. I'd personally rather see thinner and wider/taller screens on an all-in-one device something like a Pocket PC, albeit with improved screen quality and battery life, and more slots for cards. I like the Swiss Army Knife approach to computing, with a pocket full of gadget add-ons and one central device. So yes, this folding device does appeal to me... perhaps coupled to such an input device as I suggest above.
