To me, at least, a WiFi only tablet is a Webpad. Which is an even older spec.

Now that they're getting cheap, we're finally seeing WebPads take off. Oddly enough, *without* the webpad name. (C.F. Pandigital Novel.) Go figure.
Well, to me, if it has 3G it's a phone; if it has wi-fi it's a MID.

If it has both ... it's either a phone with pretensions or a MID with an inferiority complex.
