They look exactly like everything made by Apple. They follow the Steve Jobs philosophy of design almost religiously...
PalmOS. 1996. Nothing to do with iSteve.

BTW, for what it's worth, Wikipedia currently describes the note and the streak as "phablets":
A word made-up about a year ago, when the Streak was already discontinued?

The iPod (touch, nano, classic, whatever) is just a portable media player.
But it isn't. An iPod touch is an iPhone without the cellular modem (or if you prefer, an iPad with a smaller screen). As limited as iOS is, it still does a lot more than just play media.

Closer to home, what would you call a SmartQ 5 (or a SmartV 5) if not a tablet?
