I'm pretty sure the first such device will be a future iPhone.
It looks to me that the current mobile corporations (let's say Nokia) are so used with business as usual and the tight lockin they don't want to make this step.
iPAQ "blue dock" was somewhat similar but never caught on for some reason, perhaps too early ?
Technically it's been feasible since forever. My cellphone is way faster than my Cyrix CPU that ran Windows 98 just fine. Yet, there is no hardware and software support for this.
Add a bluetooth mouse, this keyboard dock[1] and either have an extra wire for the display or go entirely wireless. That would be something nice to see in the corner of Starbucks.
