Specs in Appendix A

The fracturing of the PC proceeds apace .
But the cellphone route is still very expensive .

Alternatives :

See www.Buglabs.net
BugBasic($350) is a basic Linux processor with 4 slots for plug-in modules .
The modules (WiFi etc) are about $60 .

Screen:
Smart paper or OLED's are still in testing . But you can buy a handheld projector now ($350 Mpro110 at www.3m.com) . Or use any old .

Virtual Keyboard :
A virtual keyboard can be assembled from off-the-shelf components and software . Some tweaking might be required .
Camera software recognize hands (gesture recognition) . Fingers intersect a defined keyboard-plane to trigger a key-event . A laser reference grid for the user can be supplied . Wii rings with transponder chips can simplify it further .

Three-dimensional keyboards become possible .

Since every person's hands are unique , security can be built in .

Or use any flap open keyboard .

And there you are .
