I don't know about iPad but when I bought my first Android tablet recently (I don't own any smart phone yet) my first instinct was that Android and this Tablet craze is nothing but more of the same consumerism. These are not productivity devices like computers and you can't really do or produce anything on it other than to consume and receive. The only thing that exist on these gadgets (be that smart phone or tablet) is the Market and these markets are there to sell you something. I am since then convinced that Desktop or Laptops are not going anywhere.
