I think the Surface line serves the "I only want one portable device" crowd well enough, even though I think it could be better. Applications being able to adapt based on the way you're interfacing with them would be the most work required from developers but also probably the best of both worlds... just that'd require Microsoft investing in 3rd party developer support in a way they haven't before. I personally use both a laptop and an iPad regularly enough in their own contexts that I find it worthwhile to have both.
