You seem to be saying that I am incorrect about iPads/Androids not being able to replace laptops/desktops because someday all of the software we will need/want will be available as apps. Is this a correct interpretation of your statement?

When all this software becomes available, then I'll agree with you and joyfully ditch my computer, and fully embrace my iPad. Shall we now hold our breath together while we wait for this app Nirvana?

With regards to the Mac, I agree that there are lots of software packages that are not available for the Mac. However, if I were so inclined (I'm not), I could run Parallels on my Mac and use my Windows software.
