How do people use "office" software on mobile phones or tablets? How do they do graphics design or CAD on them? How do they write and edit long articles for that matter, write books or similar?
I think the usefulness of such devices for most basic tasks a PC can do are highly overstated.
Browsing, checking/reading E-mails and maybe posting a few comments I can see, but as soon as it gets to be something more than that you will have a usability problem rather soon.
I have two tablets lying about here somewhere and they're good for reading articles in the morning and taking with when travelling (although I prefer a laptop even for that most of the time) but they will never replace my PC.
On the other hand if hardware gets strong (and miniaturized enough) we could see "PCs" in a few years that aren't much bigger than a mobile phone where you just attach the display device/keyboard/mouse and whatever you need to it and use them that way.
