Gameboy

   * CPU: Custom 8-bit Sharp LR35902[35][unreliable source?] core at 4.19 MHz which is similar to an Intel 8080 in that all of the registers introduced in the Z80 are not present. However, some of the Z80's instruction set enhancements over the stock 8080, particularly bit manipulation, are present. Still other instructions are unique to this particular flavor of Z80 CPU. The core also contains integrated sound generation
   * RAM: 8 kB internal S-RAM
   * Video RAM: 8 kB internal

   * Display: Reflective LCD 160 × 144 pixels
   * Screen size: 66 mm (2.6 in) diagonal
   * Color Palette: 4 shades of "gray" (green to (very) dark green)
   * Communication: Up to 2 Game Boys can be linked together via built-in serial ports, up to 4 with a DMG-07 4-player adapter. More than 4 players is possible by chaining adapters.
   * Power: 6 V, 0.7 W (4 AA batteries provide ~35 hours)
   * Dimensions: 90 mm (W) x 148 mm (H) x 32 mm (D) / 3.5" x 5.8" 1.3" (in)

Tablet

Tablets are essentially Mobile Devices with screens larger than would be practical for a Mobile phone, whose screens tend to be smaller (though the lines are becoming blurred with the introduction of unconventionally large screens for Phones, usually 5″ to 7″ diagonally, often dubbed "Phablets"^[6]^[7]^[8]). In function, there is not much difference between modern phones and tablets with the exception being equipped with built-in voice and data network chips (e911, GSM, CDMA, LTE, etc), though some have better capabilities (as well as input/output options) for connecting to and presenting on a widescreen or projection/TV screen. Some also offer more custom-tailored applications or user interfaces for "10 foot User Experiences" (or using the device at a distance).
