This, to me, seems to be thinking completely backward.<p>1) Everything Apple does is "wireless". This guy is talking about docks and cables? Never heard of Airplay? Bluetooth? iCloud/Dropbox/Box.net/Azure? Just reading this makes me think the author lives in the 20th century, and not in the 21st.<p>2) for a lot of people, an iPad already is a desktop replacement. Email? Check. Skype? Check. Games? Check. Basic word processing? Check. Printing? Check.<p>3) a mouse? Seriously? Why would you need that? For things like 3D modelling, advanced image editing (photoshop etc) - yes, there they are a perfect match. But other uses? Smartphones and tablets are personal devices, they mostly serve the person that carries the device. It's functionality is pointed at making things convenient for the user. This is not a device that will replace a workstation. Nothing will, it has become damn good in what it does, but not everybody needs all that functionality. Fewer and fewer end-users will get their own personal computer in the future, and do everything on their phone (a situation like this already exists in Japan) or tablet. They don't need a mouse for that.
