We are now witnessing the convergence of Laptop, Tablet and Smartphone into a product that can replace PC, Laptop, Tablet, and Smartphone.

I think we will see a divergence into two products: a phone/entertainment product that can fit in your pocket, and a larger-screened product that fits in your briefcase that you can read text and documents from without eyestrain, and which allows for some sort of full-size keyboard.

My attitude is that if it's too big to fit in my pocket, it might as well be big enough to have a 19"+ screen.

Perhaps for a short time, we will see devices of various sizes, shapes and capabilities.

However, flexible keyboards and displays (or projectors) could create a pocket-size device that still has a full keyboard and display.
