Even a year or two from now I don't think things will change that drastically. Applications will still be prodominately designed around a mouse, not a touchscreen. Unless tablet computers suddenly replaced all other types of PC.

Does everyone need something that complex? The question is, must powerful always be complex? Also, I was talking about people who have two devices --- a laptop/desktop and a tablet. Why not buy one converged device that can handle the tasks of both equally well, doesn't cost much more than the tablet and is just as light with a battery lasting just as long? And that offers no limitations on what you can do with it?
Android and iOS tablets would continue to exist but at a price point below $200 as pure media consumption devices only.

But there's the thing: Most people basically use their computers for media consumption only. They wouldn't be limited much if at all by a tablet running something like Android. Especially with new features constantly being added.
