Now if the screen were part of the planner (like the notepad in the back page of those leather-bound planners), with the ability to wirelessly read the news or store/fetch the news onto local memory for offline reading, THEN I think we'll have something.

Keeping my calendar (paper and electronic), my reference materials and my planner in one place with wireless connectivity (Bluetooth or 802.xx), would really revolutionize how office workers manage their workload. Trust me on this one...
