They need a few things first:

  1. Fast HD capable graphics (PowerVR is getting there)
  2. Fast wireless connection to a HD display.

Just imagine not having a desktop PC. I just sit down in my chair and the display, keyboard, mouse all communicate with the phone. And I can play HD movies, games, etc. with performance better than today's PCs.

Apple is making two business plays here. (read the book The Innovator's Dilemma)

  1. Don't hit an existing market head on... create a new market that absorbs the existing market. The existing market is desktop PCs and the new market is "handheld wireless device + fast computer".

  2. The new device starts at the bottom technologically... the device is "good enough" for most applications. But in the future it grows and eats away at the PC market.

So I say put more PC features into the handhelds!
