They're working on full OS's for tablets and soon enough, the hardware and software will mesh.

Keep in mind that most people don't need full office suites. Most people can get by quite happily on low end laptops. I once had a low end Compaq laptop and replaced it with a netbook. Just recently, I replaced my netbook with a TouchPad.
