So do I. In fact I wrote a good third of my first startup code in bed at a nighttime. It died shortly after though because I didn't vacuum it regularly :-)
The thing is that I really don't need a keyboard to read a PDF, nor do I need it to browse a couple of dozen of sites I frequent. And this is all I do before going to bed or in the mornings. The CrunchPad-like tablet is not as a replacement for a laptop, it is more of a beefed up (ebook/Internet) reader. Lighter and simpler, both physically and functionally. It doesn't appeal to you - fine, to each his own. But there is a substantial demand for this sort of device, so yay for it.
