Of course it is more than that. But if Apple afraid of the competition, and more powerful devices, that is their problem. How do they want swap pc with the tablet? It is absolutely different device, laptops and PCs don't need to worry. It is absolutely inconvenient for longer time, so people will go back to their PCs and use tablets on the move, occasionally. But personally I don't mind that tablets getting more powerful and can be alternative to devices that we know well.

He is definitely right. Manufacturers are treating tablets as if they are mini-PCs with touch gestures. The bond and forte of Apple is that they have a tightly woven mesh between software and the device. The control that Apple has over what gets approved onto the App store is the best way to keep consumers happy, only the good quality apps make it through (with the occasional crap app). The bond between software designed to work on a particular device and the device itself is strong with Apple products.
