Or a new Dock with a Display port and magsafe power port so you can hook it up to one of those new 24" Cinema Displays, enable a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you have a Desktop computer for home / office tasks that's a phone when you're out and about.
Don't think this will happen until the competition catches up though.
they'll probably do that iPhone-into-the-side-of-a-cinema_display trick and you'll carry your iPhone around as your low-powered mobile compute device...
The OpenCL would ensure that it responds pretty well and handle most low-power tasks thrown at it. Combine that with MobileMe and iWork.com, and you're fully connected and mobile.

HD means what? #

Doesn't HD mean 1080p or 720p? If so what good is HD on an iPhone with it's less than 720 pixel vertical resolution?

HD means what?
How 'bout an external? And, while we're dreaming, how about a roll-up, flexible OLED?

A Mac Tablet using the iPhone OS maybe #

Personally I would love one of these as I use my iPhone for casual web surfing and email but things like books and reading documents is a bit fiddly.
With a larger screen (screens that could be driven by this) it would really be a sweet little device. Maybe nothing more than a niche but very cool.
That said I suspect this will be mostly for games on the "next" iPhone.
btw - check out the Palm Pre, finally it looks like the iPhone has competition.

Apples answer to Nvidia Tegra chip? #

I suspect that this is something to compete with Nvidia's Tegra chip with HDMI to a HD display.
