Lets get something straight here: Giving a device the label 'tablet' implies a few things...
- I'm going to ingest it
- I'm going to dissolve it in something
- I'm going to write on it (like paper)
- I'm going to read from it (like paper)
While your companys 5-inch, no-phone-having device may be amazing, it's not a tablet. It's a Personal Digital Assistant. 'But it's so much more..', no it isn't. It's a palm pilot in 2010. A tablet would be something like, for instance, the iPad, or the JuJu. There are special purpose tablets, like the WACOM drawing tablets... I'd almost call that a drawing 'pad', but I think tablet works there.
THIS (DELL Streak),on the other hand... NOT A TABLET, it's dinky, it fits in your pocket, you technically can read and write on it, but it's not a tablet... it's a PDA, and a mighty bad-ass PDA at that.
I'm officially putting a 7-inch minimum on screen size to be considered a tablet.
