Oh, screw it.
Lick my nuts, Bill Gates.
(Don't lick more than once, though, or I'll have to re-activate you with a good, hard, pimp-slap to the face.)
This isn't something that would immediately go to the Desktop.
I can see three markets for this technology:
1. Education
Imagine a child's desktop and a computer's desktop becoming one thing. If somehow, in the future, made cheap enough this could be put on kids' desks in school. No need for computer labs. No losing homework. And then you could have a big "chalkboard" version that has capability of displaying something a student may have to share with a class. It's a long way off. It's not going to be economically feasible anytime soon. But that's a possibility later on.
2. Tablet Computing
If you don't see this one, you're blind. It fits perfectly. It's similar, but with no pen. And the platform would be more natural as a "tablet." You can pull up a (nearly) full-sized keyboard on a layer above what you're typing into, then dismiss it without anything getting in the way. I mean, it's not like you're going to be moving anything else while you're typing something, right?
3. Public Use
Kiosks. ATM machines. They're all cumbersome and haven't changed much since the 90s. You could have an entire wall in an airport that's just one of these interfaces. You walk up to it wherever convenient, tap the screen, and you get an intuitive screen displayed exactly where it's comfortable to you. The front office of a business (more beneficial for some than others). If strategically placed and designed, these big displays could do alot of nifty things.
I don't see it making it's way onto a desktop, but if done right, the desktop could be considered nonpoint.

I know, I was just kidding. :)
You're thinking of "portable," noob.
