My mum is a university professor and she's been given an iPad 3...but the only thing it's useful for (in terms of work) is its calendar service. Apple needs to get MS to release Office for iOS or universities and other businesses will start to deploy Windows 8 tablets to their workers instead of iPads.

That's because iOS is geared to content consumption, not content creation. - That's a mistake many have made when they realised that iOS can't do everything they want.
I.E. It's a play toy full of games, movies and music.
Try doing some rendering, encoding, photoshopping, write an essay... It's painfull on the slow hardware and the lack of decent input peripherals.
