Well... I think a lot of the logistical issues are close to being ironed out. You can have laptop 'shells'... basically a screen, keyboard and maybe an external battery. Just pop the phone into a cradle (or not, maybe a wireless connection) and get the full monty....
I think that's really the end game, to be honest. No matter how powerful and capable a phone is, it can't duplicate the productivity of a laptop. And as light and portable as laptops might be, they can't replicate a phone. It is just a matter of getting a phone to have laptop-level processing and graphics power... then they can replace as much or as little as someone needs. And we are getting close to that point with mobile processors.
Power management is a simple function of use.... design the right processor and it can use less power when in 'mobile' mode and go full bore when you switch it to desktop. Tablets kind of seem left out in the cold here.... not sure how they quite fit in.
