Whilst there is a decline in sales currently, you need to examine sales after 5 years, when desktop and laptops have gone through a replacement cycle. most of colleagues are getting iPads now because there's budget available, but I want to see what they do when their laptops and/or desktops need to be replaced.
Personally, I hope to see tablets die a swift death, to be replaced increasingly more powerful smartphones. Why can't my phone act as my CPU, connecting wirelessly to my peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor, printer) when I get to the office? Its more convenient than a tablet to carry, and arguably more functional.
I'l always have need for a desktop, for the 5% of CPU & graphics intensive work that I do. I have zero need for a tablet, aside from convenience of a larger screen than my phone.
