Tablets will eclipse laptops and desktops for the same reason people eat dinner in kitchen/breakfast nook instead of the dining room. They are lazy and will make do with what is in front of their face. The iPad, because of its form factor, follows you around the house. It's sitting on the kitchen counter. It's on the arm of your deck chair. It's portable in a way that not even laptops are. It's the book you read beca…

The xbox is a good example of Microsoft doing consumer hardware well — if they created a tablet with this mindset instead of making something to run Office 2012 they could go after the iPad and win converts.
