Tablets should be called Megaphones

Should be self-explanatory. They essentially have all the same apps as a phone now.

Then it would logically follow that smart watches would be called...

microphones.
- I'm liking this!
  
  Say hello to the gigaphone.
- What about virtual reality headsets? Facephones?
  
  Those are eyephones
Except the actual phone part.
- pretty sure my son with an android tablet and my daughter with a iPad can both still make phone calls lol. They are literally megaphones.
  
  There are VoIP options, sure, but not the actual phone bands.
  
  For all phones there is sim card ability(afaik) Only half of the tablets have that
- The voice chat app?
Apart from megaphones already having that name.
