Yes, you can use a tablet for business but it doesn't really matter what type.
The iPad will remain dominant for a number of reasons not the least of which is that it was a brilliant concept and it was there first.
This is why Android devices will never gain any significant market share and Microsoft have no chance of success (hopefully) with any of their Windows 8/Metro offerings.
The reasons for this have nothing to do with what is better or specifications. It doesn't matter how much resolution the screen has or the number of apps or the size of the community developing for whatever platform. The key is the concept itself.
A tablet can be used to present and to communicate, the two main activities in business. Real work is always going to be done on a keyboard device. Sure you can improve the tablet to the point where you can add a keyboard, but it is not really a tablet then! In the future this is probably what the PC will be. There is no "post PC era", it is just that the form will be different from what it is today. The business user will connect his/her "super-tablet" when they are not on the road to their office network in their offices. They will have full keyboards, as many and as large (and high resolution) screens as they want and do all that they have done in the past.
The consumer will be happy with a tablet similar to what we have now - and it is likely to be an iPad.
