Short answer: No, not a good idea.
Long answer: What keeps me using my Newt for textwork is the
screensize. I would love to see a PIM-Phone by Apple / Motorola that
just integrates well with OS X. SonyEricsson's P-line is a nice
example of a potentially great product that does not go far enough. I
need a device that can handle calendar categories for example, sync
whatever I want to sync, and remote-control whatever I want to
control on the Mac without additional software. I want my PIM-Phone
to be small. This contradicts with a device that is easy to write on.
If battery-technology was better (say giving 10h of full use) and the
whole thing came at 2,2 pounds max. I would like to see a 10 or 12"
iBook with a touchscreen & a hinge that allows to just fold the
screen over all the way to the back while automatically disabeling
the keyboard & touchpad (which would have to be recessed or protected
in a way they see no damage while used in this mode).
