At least, that is the differentiation i do.
3G device = cellphone

I would not expect your definitions to stand over time. There are a number
of interesting display technologies, including Mirasol, that can be expected
to have an impact on future low power display devices. They will probably
still be called "Tablets" and "eReaders" depending on their functions.
(After all, we are calling "Pads", "Pods", "Slates", and who knows what else
"Tablets".)

There seem to be a lot of people who also make the erroneous equation
of eReaders with eInk. There are and always has been dedicated eBook
reading devices that use other screen tech.

Luck;
Ken
