A desktop iMac with a small footprint and a dockable tablet that links wirelessly would fit this market well, working as a desktop, yet providing portability. It would fit the same niche market for people that use notebooks around the home, while alleviating the problem of dealing with plugging and unplugging cables. Steve Jobs did seem to give a clue that Apple may be working on some kind of wireless product- here's a quote from AppleInsider...
