I'm not so sure. I used to think there would be one device to rule them all, but now I think that this just applies to mobile devices. "The pocket exception" I've heard somewhere. When you're not concerned with mobility you want specialized devices. I still whip out the old calculator with huge buttons for some tasks. As for a long-reading device I can definitely see the Kindle work out (esp. with it's month long battery charge). I also pre-ordered a Kindle :)

I'm thinking along the lines of a wearable device (or some other configuration where it's not intrusive-- I think the intrusiveness is the only problem left to solve). Much like the phone (particularly the iPhone) absorbed the function of calculators, watches, and note pads (and to some extent cameras), I think this trend will continue. Now, I'll admit, the extent to which the phone solves this problem may only be so great for people who are now early teenagers (hell, I still wear a watch...), but I suspect it's coming.
