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?

The thing is , why should it even go in that direction? Its like saying that a sports car is an inadequate version of the five ton truck, but that you hope it eventually evolve and then you'll joyfully get rid of your truck. No one talks like that.
It seems to me that there are different types of computer experience now. There are smartphones, tablets, and PCs Each would require different types of apps. You wouldn't think of doing top level graphics editing on a smartphone, and you wouldn't use a laptop as your everyday phone.
It seems to me that for a certain level of computing, PCs will be the preferred tool, just as mainframes will be necessary for the highest levels of computing. For certain types of work, tablets may be best.
In each case, there will be a need for different apps.
