I'm not so sure about that ... I heard they recently found a second customer considering to purchase, so they may have run out of stock <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

More seriously: the desktop solution that comes closest to Serkan's vision is probably Wacom's Cintiq. Unfortunately it isn't available in really large sizes (21" maximum).
Back to the future of desktops: some notebooks certainly can be used as desktop replacements, but the biggest issue these products are facing is screen estate. Anyone used to work on a 27" or 30" display hardly wants to go back to a smaller screen.
Of course, you can add such a screen to a powerful notebook, too.

But then you are just transforming the laptop into a desktop machine again.
