Tablet pcs the new laptop?

With the emergence of the iPad last year there are now more and more tablet pcs being made. I feel like every week I'm hearing about a new tablet pc by another company that's supposed to be better than the last. Apple has already been working on their second iPad which is going to have a camera on the front and back. In my opinion, no company is going to be able to beat out apple's ipad for the pure reason of all the apps that apple has to offer.

The apps that are available with the ipad is what truly makes it amazing. I may be a little biased because I own an iPad myself but it really is an amazing piece of technology. What's really crazy is how the technology in tablet pcs is only getting better and at a very fast rate. This leads to the question will tablet pcs replace the laptop? Desktop computers have become more uncommon because of the ease of laptops and their mobility. Now tablet pcs are here which perform the same functions as a laptop but with the utmost mobility.

So if people purchase a laptop over a desktop because the compact size and mobility, will people act the same way with iPads and laptops? When people go to the store to buy a new laptop and see a tablet pc next to it for around the same price which will they choose? Only time will tell but in the near future I see a lot more people using tablet pcs instead of laptops.
