This author seems to confuse dominance in the mobile market with dominance in the OVERALL computer market.

That's the point.

Mobile now drives the overall computer market, since this is the vehicle (via handsets and tablets) by which the VAST majority of end users will get there computing chores accomplished.

For more proof go no further than Juan McCain in today's senate hearings:

Is that a bandwagon I hear approaching?

That’s last year’s prediction. This year shows the tablet market no longer growing, those who want them now have them, those who don’t aren’t buying them. In much the same way a lot of the PC market has no reason to switch to laptops they also have no reason to switch to tablets. The power::dollar equation will always favor the form factor that has room to breath, so the bigger the box you’re willing to put your computing power in the more bang you’ll get for your buck.
