Anyone heard of "phablets"?

So, PC Mag defines "phablet":

"How do you define a "phablet?" With the Galaxy Note as the defining product in the field, I'm going with a device that has voice calling capability out of the box, cellular connectivity, and a screen size of at least 5, but less than 7 inches."

Galaxy S III screen is less than 5 inches, but not by much and several listed "phablets" do not meet the above requirements. Due to its hardware, screen size, and features, I consider Galaxy S III a "phablet" that is very close to specifically Nexus 7. Unlike iPad and other large screen tablets, Nexus 7 has a smaller screen and it is more difficult to perform tablet activities on it, such as document editing, movie watching, web browsing due to small size/screen... just as difficult as on Galaxy S III! This is why I compare the two. If you'd like me to keep researching and posting more links where people compare the two or consider S III a tablet-hybrid then I could do that, but I don't need to prove my point to a whole bunch of rude people who can't say anything but "WTF" to disprove my point.
