I also question the authority of such a statement. Who is he to define what a tablet is? What specific criteria does a tablet have that a smartphone does not and vice versa? Is it the size of the device? If so, wouldn't that effectively make the Internet Tablet a misnomer in the case of the 770/N8x0's and the Archos Internet Tablets? Is is that the device has a cellular radio? If so, wouldn't that effectively discredit every iPad with a cellular radio and every netbook or laptop with a cellular radio? What, pray tell me, is the difference between a tablet and a cellphone?

Me, personally: I always figured that a "cellphone" was a function of a device's firmware or software to let you make calls. The form factor of a cell phone could be a physical phone-like device, or it could be a piece of software that you run on a tablet, laptop or anything else--much like we treat VOIP. Because, as far as I'm concerned, cellular phone *IS* not far removed from basically a VOIP service. Why can't the Samsung Tab, then, be a TABLET form factor.. with CELL PHONE services?

In my opinion, the writer is obviously a little confused about these technical and logical subjects and should stick to writing children's books where there are far fewer technical arguments to get mired in.

GOOD DAY!
