The iPad 3 pushes 2,048 by 1,536 pixels. A single monitor 30" requires 2560 x 1600 (or maybe less, if it's crap). So ... I can see an iPhone being able to drive a single 30" monitor some time soon.

People will be using their phones as desktops (if not serious workstations) sometime soon. And once they use them as desktops, phones won't be fast enough until they have performance comparable to workstations (which, as you point out, won't happen).
