I don't see it as a problem. It is not trying to be both. It is both.
Currently 40K Metro apps (I think I read somewhere it is 40K at the moment) for tablet usage.
Attach keyboard (Surface Pro, Asus VivoTab, Samsung ATIV Smart PC, HP Envy x2, Acer Iconia W510) or dock it (HP ElitePad 900, Dell XPS 10, Acer Iconia W7, Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx K3011, Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 3679) or buy a hybrid (MSI Slider S20, ASUS Taichi, Dell XPS 12, Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga) and then add a mouse and you have your desktop experience.
Attach a keyboard and a mouse to your ipad and run your OS X desktop programs... oh wait.. you can't.
While tablets like Surface Pro and Acer Iconia W7 Core i5 tablets may not have the best battery life (yet to see), the Atom based oned should do pretty well. Fx Asus VivoTab is announced 10.5h and 19h with the keyboard dock.
