Not quite pocket-sized yet, but frighteningly close. If the LoC is 3 petabytes, we're at the point where I could mindlessly surf to Buy.com and get 3,000 1TB external drives for $200 each:

...and store my own personal LoC for $600k. That's cheaper than a lot of houses here in Boston. And that's just the stupidly inefficient way to store a personal LoC.
(With peer-to-peer, of course, the problem of giving me instant access to the LoC from my portable phone is essentially solved. The movies are still a bit slow.)
