Great perspective. It's a topic I've thought about personally. Forget all the marketing gimmicks and terms like "third-device" or "post pc device". For me - and this obviously is just my own perspective - tablets are absolutely fantastic for media consumption. Watching movies with Netflix or shows with Hulu Plus. Reading news with apps like The Economist's or the New Yorker. Interacting with all of it with others like Twitter or Flipboard. Consuming books with iBooks or Kindle. Watching casual videos on YouTube. Sifting through emails, PDFs, or presentations. Pecking away on an iPad's keyboard is torture. That's why it loses productivity for me. I don't ever see myself going for my iPad rather than my MacBook to type a document up. But in terms of media consumption, the tablet, with its battery life and form factor, is king.
