Maybe you mean microsoft apps. Personally, I ditched my pc in 2010, the day I left my day job. I will never go back. The main feature missing from PC's is the "it works" feature. I don't have a data point on Android yet but the fact that it has to support so many different hardware platforms will make it far more difficult than Apple's problem.

Specifically the ASUS eeePad Transformer TF201? http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/ Big processor, 8 hours battery (18 with keypad), conventional keyboard, USB port, super bright 600 nit display, NOT an Apple.
