Take the MacBook Air and replace the keyboard with a touch screen and you have a very thin "Tablet Computer". iPhone SDK would be a natural for such a device.

Implement Ink in the OS X as a input option
Add a position changing camera (to point front or back) for picture and video.

Now that is a device that overcomes iPhone too small to replace laptop and MacBook AIr is not a iPhone issues.

By SDK you mean the iPhone OS 2.0...
Because SDK is the Software Development Kit, that allows you to create iPhone apps, but nothing in terms of operation system. So to put the SDK on a MB Air is just allowing to create iPhone apps on the MB Air.

But I believe, if it's what you are refering to, that the iPhone OS (or touch OS, or mobile OS X) 2.0 will be available to bigger devices than just the iPhone/iPod touch... as soon as there are bigger multitouch capable panels/displays at a reasonable price. I am not sure that the next step will be on 13.3" panels (too expensive), but anything under 10" is more than probable.
