Why 320x200? A TV can do better than that. Why not do the maximum vertical resolution and then pick a horizontal that makes square pixels on a TV? Now, here's the real question: Is this talk some kind of fantasizing about what we would like, or does anyone have some ambitious goals? Here's the other problem: Adding a keyboard and disk-drive wouldn't increase the price significantly (An extra $100 or so), so why not? They could be add-ons at least. So now it becomes a home computer instead of a video-game system--is that a bad thing?
