It's certainly headed in that direction! I don't see a need for a personal one anymore. Our laptops are used primarily in our facility for wireless access to our Unix main system for inventory and Excel-based programs. As programs develop and allow communication between the Unix and a mobile platform, we'll likely slowly evolve in that direction. Although I will miss having actual keys rather than a vague virtual key footprint. But I'm a dinosaur.
