This is just my two cents, but I think the term Tablet is confusing.
Tablet is a physical form factor, not really a category that can be
used to classify devices by power. Several companies make tablet
laptops with desktop comparable capabilities. We're now seeing more
netbooks in tablet format and I keep hearing about new tablet devices
that fall in between the typical netbook and phone in processing
abilities.

Why not just call the middle profile "Netbook" or maybe even "Mid
range devices"?
