of course, you can say MID was just NOKIA's word for tablet, but still...
also, as far as i know, NOKIA is the only brand that ever produced (and still produces with Harmattan) Maemo devices.
thus, the topics here should actually be only about one brand, no?

(q.e.d.)

Golly gee, mister, but the entire time I checked, mind you--over the years, Nokia referred to the 770, N800, N810 and N810WE as Internet Tablets. They're small--but they were still tablets as much as any Palm or Newton was called a tablet for decades. So, it appears that 'TABLET' was also Nokia's word for a tablet. All they had to do was start listening to customer demands for bigger screens and all the other stuff people now expect from tablets that Nokia was on the CUSP of doing themselves. Additionally, this forum USED to be called InternetTabletTalk (you can still get here from http://www.internettablettalk.com in fact) long before it decided to more FIRMLY put its sausage into Nokia and call it talk.maemo.org. Nothing you've said was either accurate nor correcting--I'm not even sure why you bothered writing a reply if you didn't at least have some first-hand knowledge or at least research this stuff first. Here... let me help you. Just a little bit this time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_internet_tablet
