You might want to look at "Lilliput Computer" offerings <http://www.lilliputweb.net> Add an "Adesso Flexible compact keyboard" <http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&cid=6658121900308964173> And you're in the 'in a briefcase, or a backpack' range, and nearly in the 'in a coat pocket' range. Not _exactly_ what you asked for -- it's two pieces, not one -- but close.
