I think that the laptop will simply evolve into tablet level computing. Phones are too small to work and read on for long periods imo, the screen needs to be 10" at a minimum but laptops are too big for a pocket or purse. 10" is a decent size for a reader, now it may also be a phone, but it's primary function won't be that of a phone.

I think we can look forward to powerful tiny devices that do basically everything. Rumors point at Apple releasing on early 2010 (yes bloody rumors), but if they do it will start an explosion of development in the area I think.
