Touch screens and stylus screens can be useful for handling icons and other “mousy” tasks, however to me there’s nothing better than the good old keyboard for entering text.

Why would you use a tablet for a task that is primarily entering text unless it was a rarity? I would consider "texting" for chat purposes only a part time job for a device used for a multitude of things.

I am skeptical that text is ready to be a rarity yet. Yeah, you can always do virtual keyboards on a tablet. This occupies valuable screen space and gets the screen dirty.
