I think most people are not reading the article. He is not saying that the tablet form factor is dead, just that in the long run tablets and phones will converge. (So we will be calling things that operate like tablets today phones.) This will either mean we all start carrying around really large phones, or that technology gets to the point where you can fit an object the size of a phone in your pocket and have an experience like a tablet. (Using some unforseen tech) IMHO augmented reality converged with VR is the long run future. I have to imagine we are all going to be wearing comfortable opaque goggles in a few years that will project whatever we want wherever we want.
