The craze may be over, but tablets will keep a good marked share.

Not yet, but it still might in the future. Tablets are not powerful 
enough. An ideal tablet should be as powerful as a grown PC, have a 
similar drive capacity, and via docking station it should work seamlessly 
as a PC (Keyboard, maybe extended storage via e-sata, HDMI for bigger 
screen)

In the mid-term future I would hope to use a more powerful tablet with 
Fedora Linux. Longer term I want to have my brain socket.
