You have to throw all assumptions away. Look at our clothing, for
instance. Outdoor clothing in the UK has already changed, as have
many tote bags, small rucksacs, etc., to add mesh pockets to cater for
the current fashion of carrying bottled water. If some future device
using a screen like this, 3G always-on, some for of neat input, etc.,
offers enough benefits to become fashionable then the current "it
doesn't fit in a pocket" will vanish.
Apple pulled a great stunt with the eraly iPods and their distinctive
earpieces. Even if you couldn't see the device itself, you could see
from the white earpieces they were using one. They should have done a
range of iPhone clothing.
1024x768 highly portable is not far off. And I really mean 3mm thick,
200 gramme, 3G always-on, days of battery life.
