While I don't consider myself "average" I'd never even consider trading my desktop computer for an ipad. The enthusiast can still build a desktop for less then the cost of a tricked out Ipad, and it will blow the ipad out of the water as far as computing power is concerned. So while the ipad may be a hit with some people, I think it is more of a phase than anything.

Mobility is not everything.
I don't see it as an either-or choice. I'm sure many iPad owners have laptops or PCs, too.
