Tablets aren&#x27;t worthless, but they are niche. The niche is where a phone doesn&#x27;t have a big enough screen, but a laptop is too cumbersome.<p>1. Video and map display for a drone in the field<p>2. Reading, you could use a dedicated device, but I don&#x27;t<p>3. Secondary display to watch video(TV) passively while working on a laptop, while not around a TV<p>4. Some games for the bigger display, and increased battery life<p>One of the things has held tablets back is that historically you had to have a second data plan to get your tablet online anywhere. So most people would get the wifi only models. I find the combination of a phone as the mifi like device, and the tablet as the great combination at times.<p>You can now share data between devices on some plans, but carrier compatibility definitely complicates things.
