I really hope that this isn't a true "shift", but disregarding that, if you look just a few years back you had a PDA and a phone, now that's done by one "smart"phone (that, plus GPS and camera). I'd say that most tablets certainly would be capable of doing that when it comes to raw power (hey, they're faster than SGI Indys), but the ergonomics are quite odd, which is a problem that Moore's law doesn't solve automatically. And when you're carrying your Android tablet in addition to an iPad… But hey, there's been online IDEs, a lot of "distraction free" writing environments etc. for tablets, so the line to draw between tablet and laptop usage is obviously a very individual choice. And, well, as an emergency Unix shell connector even I can see the point, and I'm definitely in the "tablets are for consuming" camp.
