They are less capable. Not much less anymore, but less.
Going back to the vespa analogy, Desktop::Laptop::Tablet as Full size car::SubCompact car::Scooter. The first leap is one of scale. The second leap is one of substance. There is simply less in common between what people want to do with a scooter vs. a car (small or large) than between what people want to do with a small car vs. a larger car.
