Instead, I think a few years from now iOS will be Apple's consumer OS, and OSX will be their pro OS, which is I think what Steve Jobs was hinting at with the truck analogy at the D conference interview with Bill Gates and Walt Mossberg.
On a different note, can we talk about how atrocious the iPad facebook app is? It's not a big deal because the regular web site works just fine, but it's still the second most shameful iPad app ever after the GMail one that was pulled from the App Store a few hours after its release.
