The author seems to ignore non-US markets, where Android tablets do sell quite nicely. The same markets that don't have access to Hulu or Netflix. I get daily flyers in my mailbox that are trying to convince me to buy yet another Android tablet (from manufacturers that I've never heard of). And those tablets are fine for browsing, email, games, youtube and playing movies from home NAS.
Regarding ms office: myself and most of everone I know around me (regular people with regular jobs) have no need for it. In fact, many have already switched to open office (at home and at work). So I don't see how Microsoft is a big threat because of perceived productivity gains from office being available on surface tablets. Make no mistake, the threat is real, but not for the reason author states.
