You will be better served by reading those commentators who are
insightful enough to recognize that the iPad is a new category. We now
need to identify the computer users who fit into that new category.
For creatives the need for a real computer remains. Getting an iPad
does not cause me to no longer need my desktop. I use the desktop
computer for what it does best and the iPad for what it does best. I
won't give up the desktop. I just don't want to use it for things that
the iPad does better.
For non-creatives, what you say is true. Those people never had a real
need for a desktop computer, but used one because there was no
alternative. These people will no longer have a need for a computer.
Then we have mobile creatives. They will want both.

going away, to be replaced by ever more mobile and increasingly
