Maybe so, but the wiki sets a guideline as to what constitutes a phablet. But then try holding an ipad up to your ear and see how silly it looks compared to more phone sized dimensions in form fctor... ---/ *Wiki* set a guideline? You don't know how the whole Wikipedia thing works do you?
OK, so wiki didn't >set< the guideline, but it did republish a guideline....
And it's a GUIDEline.
The purpose of which is to set a standard.
It is DESCRIPTIVE, not PRESCRIPTIVE.
How does the note 8 or ipad mini fit that standard?I don't have to on two counts.
1. It sets TYPICAL dimensions which means that items outside of that range can still be part of the set.
2. It isn't a standard, it's a description.
I suppose if you want to call them 'fat phablets', that's fine. But they aren't standard phablets....And straight back to the "no true Scotsman"!~
