| Aug 24, 2011 at 0:21 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | @random, it doesn't mention tablet computers at all, just electronic devices and phones. | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 23:46 | comment | added | random Mod | It's been part of the FAQ since a few months after launch. | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 15:30 | comment | added | James Mertz | @lance an embedded system is not a personal computer. | |

| Aug 23, 2011 at 14:42 | comment | added | Breakthrough | @Lance Roberts you think this site should be about all non-phone-form-factor computers, but you also don't think that specific operating systems should be the issue? I don't see your logic in restricting one aspect of a device but allowing the other. Where do we draw the line, and who decides what a non-phone-form-factor computer is? Also, last I checked, the form factor of a tablet is nearly the same as a cellphone (albeit a bit larger). | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 14:36 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | @slhck, I don't think specific OSs should be the issue, otherwise we just trap ourselves into being the Windows/Linux site, and lose ground as other OSs come to dominate in the years to come (what if we'd been the TRS-80 or CPM site?). I think on-topic should be all non-phone-form-factor computers, though I wouldn't mind help defining this more precisely. If you see how to edit it this in, go ahead. And the question that alerted me was actually on the main site (so I edited to reflect that differently). | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 14:31 | comment | added | slhck | @Lance Can you clarify which questions should be on-topic? Are you asking about tablets running generic Windows/Linux version only? | |

| Aug 23, 2011 at 14:27 | comment | added | slhck | @Lance But not a discussion about the discussion culture. This post is about whether tablets should be on-topic or not, nothing more. | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 14:26 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | @slhck, huh!, this is a Meta post. | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 14:25 | comment | added | slhck | @Lance Nothing personal -- Feel free to roll back, but let's not make this a meta-discussion. | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 14:24 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | @slhck, that was a sad edit, removing some of the facts from the discussion, but not unexpected. | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 14:23 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | @Michael, how hard is it to take all facts into account. I'm reality-driven, not the Pollyanna type. Sorry for the dose of reality. | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 14:04 | comment | added | Breakthrough | All tablets (sans the ones that run a "full" desktop OS) are nothing more than glorified cell phones... Unless there's something my Android phone can't do that your tablet can (in which case, I'd love to hear it). We have to draw the line somewhere, and this is where. | |

removed stuff that's not topic of this discussion, added reference to the popular meta question for tablets

| Aug 23, 2011 at 14:01 | comment | added | Michael Mrozek | How hard is it to ask a question without acting like you've escaped from some sort of oppressive regime that might catch up with you at any moment? | |

| Aug 23, 2011 at 13:54 | comment | added | Nifle | Good question, especially if the trend that tablet-os'es and computer-os'es are converging continues. | |
