tablets v. laptops
I was on a plane a few weeks ago, and sat next to a maybe 50-55ish woman who pulled out an iPad after the plane took off. She was happy as a lark looking at pictures (she was returning to her home after visiting her son) and playing games on it. I talked to her a little about it, and she absolutely loved the thing, takes it everywhere in her purse, uses it all the time.

I think that there are a lot of people like that. Typical men can't take it with them unless they carry a briefcase, a backpack or something similar, but women certainly can in their purses. I don't think readers of this thread are especially "typical" of the broader public. I also don't think it is a matter of one "replacing" the other. They will both get bought in big numbers.
