Can the iPhone do double duty as a laptop?

My dream gadget: A handheld device powerful enough to let me leave my notebook computer home and still get things done on a weekend trip without too much difficulty. By “things” I mean getting real work done — writing, e-mail, Web browsing, making and receiving phone call. Also important: This device must keep me entertained with media, including music, and video. And oh yeah: It absolutely must have a full keyboard.

For me, that last requirement, a full keyboard, was my biggest worry about the iPhone — or more accurately, the lack of actual keyboard keys, replaced instead by a virtual keyboard that pops up when needed, then vanishes when not, freeing up all of that gorgeous screen space.
