It won't take too much of a leap to have a portable device that does all what we need and can be wirelessly connected to peripherals such as screens, keyboards, HD's once we're back at home, thus eradicating the need for a desktop and a portable device.

The future is looking rather spiffy, old chap
I seem to remember watching a documentary a while back on how much of the tech we are using today has been derived from Star Trek. What with mobile phones etc etc

And I would love to have one of the tablet like thingys they use in Voyager for instance.

Which would probably be quite easy to accomplish. Touchscreen Oled anyone?
