Opera and, IIRC, the RIM PlayBook browser say "Tablet". > Dao suggests it would be nice to get cross-browser consistency here. > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773355 > > This makes some sense to me.

Firefox's Mobile and Tablet tokens fit the taxonomy of Apple and Opera (though Apple spells theirs "iPad"). Microsoft's taxonomy is novel and it's unclear if it is the taxonomy that authors who UA sniff are interested in. > Anyone want to argue for or against?
