Smartphone, Tablet, Laptop, PC - they all can do some of the same stuff, but some of them do somethings better than others; it depends what you want to do (small portable device - Smartphone; bit more functionality and better media consumption - Tablet; more functionality, transportability, and ability to produce stuff (like large docs and presentations - laptop; something with grunt that will last a couple of years and you don't have to lug around - desktop.

It's like saying now we have motorbikes, we don't need bicycles, cars, or buses/trains - there will be a market for all of the devices (sometimes in the same house). I use my iPad/Xoom for consumption (browsing/films/books/email etc), my smartphone for music, calls, texts, and to take out with me on an evening, my laptop for moving work between my offices, and my PC (which I am typing on now) for gaming and others stuff.
