What's a tablet?

[alphabassettgrrl]

A tablet is a tiny little computer. I've got a Nook from Barnes and Noble. I can surf the 'net, read email and the like, and it runs apps. I've got an app for calorie tracking, some games, a weather app, a yoga app, a digital notepad that I use almost constantly, and several digital books. I get the newspaper delivered to my tablet every morning, which is nice. I don't have stacks of papers building up at the house, and I can still keep up with things.

The i-pads have their own wireless available, as far as I know, whereas most of the others require wi-fi access (which is pretty commonly available, I've rarely had trouble finding access).
