Android is popular because it floods the market and then enough people buy it from its presence, ditto Apple - its everywhere, part of Nokia's problem is lack of advertising.

lot of weight behind it now

You might want to open your windows and smell the silicone. Most of the big players have. Thats why all the big fuss with the cloud is about, thats why Google are trying to push Chrome OS, thats why Microsoft "bought" Nokia, thats why everyone is churning out tablets like mad, trying to catch the last train out of desktopville.

Tablet/Mobile is going to replace the Desktop.
The only remnants from the Desktop era might some of the perhiperals: Monitors, Mice, Keyboards etc.
You will dishout your quadcore/hdmi/usb pocketable device, connect it to the said perhiperals and voila, instant Desktop.
