I disagree. The whole idea with the iPad was not to replace your iphone or laptop etc. Its a luxury item to use in-between those devices. The variations of android tablets will not replace a smartphone or laptop either. These are just cool luxury devices that take you to the same URL facebook, yahoo, myspace, or skype. For that reason, I don't think I need to spend $600 to go to yahoo.com on a tablet. IMHO
