The future is touchbooks

I was reading today that iPod Touch and iPhone are bringing the touch interface to the forefront and we would very soon see laptops with similar touch screens running Windows 7. Keyboards and mice are already being written off. Would it be still be called a laptop? Will it still look like a laptop? What would you type on? Combine this with flexible displays, a laptop would be no more than a folder. Unfold and scratch or type away. 

Better still, what if an iPhone can just be stretched to a laptop when required?

Some people think that it might be a "stretch", but the reality is so near, you can almost "touch" it.
