I can think of many jobs outside the IT industry where people would like to be able to connect their work device quickly to an available printer or network, or plug in a DVD drive, external storage or a USB key.
Each job's appropriate portable device is somewhere on that tablet to full laptop scale, which is why I foresee a swing back towards netbooks once the market settles down and the initial rush to tablets is over.
