I think that may be a fairly safe assumption. The very form factor of the Ipad and tables in their current incarnation makes them poorly suited for most types of content creation. However, among content producers tablets supplement rather than replace other form factors of computers for the time being. Also, docking stations are likely to improve and become more common. A future tablet which would be more powerful than current generations with a solid docking station that would support a full keyboard, mouse and second monitor is a standard computer with the ability to undock it temporarily when not doing real content creation... |

Excuse me?
The Ipad and the tablets are excellent for content creations.
I created a program to analize the spectrum of voice in opengl, and multitouch is way more natural to manipulating thousands of things at the same time(realtime zoom, panning and selection). It feels like a highway for your mind not to be constrained by language(that is so slow).
If you program using blocks it is way faster and easier than using keyboard.
Do you really think that keyboard are so good for content creation, if you think so you need to look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sholes_typewriter.jpg
...look at the keys and then look at a computer keyboard.
teletypes used typewriter machines because people got used to it, and then people made programming for teletypes as it was the only possible input on these days.
It does not mean that it it the best input for a computer, far from it, you just have to redesign everything(as iphone did with the iphone) in the programming world too.
Of course, this takes work and good programmers are lazy.
