Actually, most of the newer phones and tablets out there meet that description. You can already get an iPhone 4 with video out and BT keyboard. Even better with the iPad devices where you have a keyboard dock and an HDMI out. My Samsung Galaxy Tab has an available keyboard dock with HDMI out, too. All I would have to do it pick up the Tab to continue doing what I'm already doing and walk out the door without even flinching or a second thought. Pop it right back onto a cradle or keyboard dock at work and, just as easily, I've got my own little computer ready to go on a nice big screen there too.

Truly, I think Windows is becoming increasingly less relevant with every month. Hell, a LARGE majority of people (from what I remember of recent stats) are STILL running Windows XP on any desktop/laptops they own. There's nothing compelling about Windows anymore with these new devices (cell phones, tablets, game consoles, hell--even just the bare TV by itself in a lot of cases now, etc.) lately popping up and doing everything nearly as well if not better than a Windows 7 PC. The Windows brand isn't the hot commodity it used to be, and even in its BEST era it never did well on mobile.
