Nintendo's next handheld will be a tablet, and that is a good thing

The Wii U gamepad is a tablet.

It is a gamepad with tablet-like features, but it isn't a true tablet. It isn't a full-featured computer and it is utterly dependent on the console (IIRC it doesn't even have its own CPU or GPU). A Shield or Razer Edge clone it ain't.

Yes, but in the end is a stop gap for a full tablet.
