OTOH, there are a lot of us who haven't bought into the tablet idea precisely because it doesn't mimic our dekstop and so we can't be productive.
I can't see any reason to buy a tablet today. Virtually everything the tablet can do, my laptop can do and often better. The iPad reminds me of the "jack of all trades, master of none" sarcasm.
I know there are people who simply cannot exist without either the latest in gadgetry, the latest Apple offering, or being 24/7/365 connected, but not everyone fits that bill.
If I had to buy a tablet today, it would be the Samsung Tab. The only way I will buy a tablet today is if my laptop dies, yet even then I might pass. OTOH, a Windows tablet that would let me not only connect but actually get some work done would be of itnerest.
