Pundits keep missing the point. Tablets aren't about replacing desktops or laptops, they're about "anywhere, anytime, always on".
C'mon, people, it's a half inch thick and 24 ounces. There is no keyboard, and the bluetooth keyboard is more a makeshift hack than solution.
Mine paid for itself in a month by giving me the ability to work anywhere anytime - not work well as I would with a desktop, but work at all in the little 5-15 minute gaps, regardless of where I was.
In addition, it enhances personal life for the same reason: books, movies, email, games, internet, news, etc all in the same ubiquitous tiny sliver of a package.
Gonna do real work? Get a desktop.
Office apps are available not to replace the desktop, but to let you do basic work anywhere anytime.
And a notebook is a desktop pared down to it's barerest compromise to achieve portabiliy. Give up a bit more functionality and you get a tablet.
