We need more portable videoblog/videocast consumption devices, I agree! We do have the Pocket PC today. for US$300 you can get a dell x50 with BlueTooth and use your cell phone (with data connection) to get podcasts directly using FeederReader. Add $100 to get WiFi, and another $100 to add a VGA screen.
What really will kick it into high gear is a $200-$300 device with VGA and WiFi and Bluetooth and 4GB-8GB of flash storage. We are still a little ways from from this. Today, it costs about $500 to get all of this (Dell Axim x50v when it's on sale and add a 4G Microdrive). We are getting very close to Pocketable devices with enough built-in functions to justify their cost to many non-geek users. I think we'll get there within a year or two.
