And you quickly have a pocket size netbook that you can use as long as you have a wall or some suitable display surface. The battery would be huge in comparison, but there is some cool research going on to improve the energy density by an order of magnitude by using silicon nanostructures:
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.

The devices will only get smaller... a key chain netbook would be really cool in my opinion.
