I agree with this. Until voice interface reaches the point where keyboards aren't needed, or some other interface device comes along, I don't see desktops disappearing.

While leisure computers will easily be replaced by phones and tablets, desktops will remain the workhorse computers of the age. The media won't pay much attention to them, because they're not sexy, or cool, or revolutionary. But they'll be there, working away until they actually become obsolete.

Some might say laptops could do it, but laptops that are large enough replace desktops are really just portable desktop computers in my mind.

I await the day when my phone has enough power that I can talk to it for most daily computer tasks, but have it connect by PAN to a keyboard and monitor for coding and hard computing tasks. If I can have it dual boot Backtrack Linux and Windows, it'll be like heaven.
