The screen will have to get bigger if your going to use the screen as an interface, like a view of whatever is being looked at, plus a keyboard.

Eventually voice input will probably improve enough but currently if you want serious work done, you need a keyboard. Eg how would you enter a customers details with non-keyboard methods?

A lot of work needs to be done with the interfaces as a lot of them are great with little data, but incease the data to access more records and they become slow to use gimicks. What works well for a few items doesn't work well in bulk. eg an E-Book I looked at, no search ability, your supposed to page through all titles. That problem fairly easy to fix, but there are a lot of that type.
