Funny you should mention that, a number of years ago I got to know a guy who worked in a lab that was researching organic polymer-based electronics, which lets you build things like screens and keyboards that can be rolled up or folded and put into your pocket. It was still experimental technology at the time, though, and I'm not expecting it to be publicly available anytime soon. But the day may come when your smartphone *can* literally have a 22" monitor (that folds into a pocket sized card). T -- Famous last words: I wonder what will happen if I do *this*...
