Doesn't even need an article.
Year 1: Apple fans buy it because they always buy everything apple sells.
Year 2: Some other rich people buy it, because they were shown it by apple fans.
Year 3: People buy it because other tablets aren't as mature; people start realising that doing normal day to day tasks on a tablet sucks.
Year 4: "Everyone has one", while at the same time most are actually shoved into cupboards or buried under desk clutter.
Year 5: People have realised tablets are impractical. For serious tasks, a computer is better, while for portability, a phone is better. Sales are now driven by replacement with new models and the 2nd world consumers buying their first, while most ipads are sitting in a cupboard or on a shelf somewhere.

Personally I carry both my computer and a full-size tablet (though sometimes just an e-reader) and a phone when I travel on business. OTOH, I just take the tablet and phone on vacation. Each has their uses even if the tablet is the least necessary of the three.
