A pencil case computer?!

9.5" x 3.5" x 1"
The folding case can open to reveal micro keyboard, screen can be 3"x6".
Should easily take an eoma.
Big 2 x 2" stereo speakers?
+ tray for pencil essential! (not :) ).
[most e-ink can't do video + "full sunlight" on the 
 spec is bordering on unrealistic demand ]
