On The iPad

Once they figure out how to make the protective cover a tactile keyboard, the laptop will be on it's way out.
I would guess at something that's a palm sized touchpad from which a keyboard and screen unfold/emerge, the option to broadcast onto a wall with the screen being adjustable from text/instant message size to large TV size and a central storage space maybe still based on a hard drive at home but more likely decentralized to a server somewhere in the ether.
The touch pad will be your cell phone, calendar, address book, and entertainment center, and of course it will be ruined by an afternoon in a pocket that's too tight or loose, a few drops of water, or a fall of more than 8 inches.

What a fantastic time to be alive and witnessing history.
