No, "Tablet" has become a generic term for anything without calling. I guess my old HP iPaq is a tablet now...

Technically that's true it is; when I worked for Compaq when the first iPaq was made *just before the buyout that year*, they were telling us at the office it was a tablet PC. I surprised people still have those things.
