Will tablets take over Laptop Market?

I think that tablets will definitely cannibalize a lot of the netbook market share, but if you're buying a real laptop, I doubt a tablet would fill your needs. I can use a tablet for surfing the net, checking email, playing games, etc, but if I actually need to type something, SSH into a machine, or do anything more than point-and-click, I pull out the laptop. A netbook, even with a keyboard, just isn't comparable to a full laptop, and even the battery life isn't that amazing. My Thinkpad X220 can go ~8 hours on a charge with just the 29+ battery, and add another 8 with the slice battery. My phone can barely manage 24-36 hours of charge, if I'm not doing much more than just checking messages, making a few calls, and maybe looking up something up on the web occasionally.

Fair enough. I just bring this up because of the new tablet coming out soon. It's quad core (actually 5/quint core), thinner than the new iPhone and nearly as thin as the slim part of the razr, and has a keyboard attachment/touchpad. As for the display, 178deg viewing angle and gorilla glass.
