Will changing the hard drive reduce power consumption that much?
Transmeta-based laptops are reported to get 10 hours, and that's
presumably just by replacing the processor (same HDD and backlit
display).

Once you replace the bulky hard drive with flash AND replace the
processor, you might as well change the form factor.  I'm quite
hopeful for the Nokia 770 with a bluetooth keyboard, although the
processor they have chosen is unfortunately very slow:
