Archos used to call them PMPs (Portable Media Players) when it sold them.

I think that's a good description, distinguishing them from larger more capable devices.

Unfortunately the logical pronounciation of that is "pimp".

That seems to miss that most people aren't using them for media consumption but for note taking (really must get the "can't use tablet type devices for creation" memo out to them, so many people not understanding that).

Phone pads?

Or how about just call them what they are - smartphones. Is the half inch screen size difference between a Note and an S3 really cause for a new class of device?

In Kuala Lumpur Samsung had ads calling it a phablet.

But it's just so phabulous!

Tabphlet? Like a leaflet ?
