So you don't think the Asus Transformer represented any sort of hardware innovation? The Asus Padphone? The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon? The TouchSmart 9300 Elite? Really?
You need to do more product research. What's the point of claiming a "lack of innovation" if you don't actually have a clue what innovations these products offer?
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon - what is the innovation? Carbon Fiber?
TouchSmart 9300 Elite - an iMac clone with an external power brick?
