Possible, yes. Practical, maybe not. The mobile hardware to support Aero exists, but it's just a matter of (a) whether manufacturers choose to use it in their devices, and (b) whether end-users are willing to shell out more dough for it.

I also think battery life would be affected by a GPU.
I am definitely interested, but the battery life needs to go up, I need outdoor screen visibility, screen rotation and fast power-on.
I started carrying my Newton instead of my iPAQ to prepare, and it boots from a cold start activating literally dozens of add-on packages in 30 seconds. Which normally happens when I forget to charge it and it loses all power, but of course no data. A warm start is practically instantaneous.
