    My samsung tablet has a 8" touch screen so it is easy to carry with. It runs games quite well and it is really useful for checking the internet quickly and in addition, it takes really good pictures!

    The strongest tablet outdo the strongest mobile in terms of price and processing ratio. Plus, I rather play on a larger screen than a small one. I can't stand gently tapping screens either, so with a mobile, if I use it long enough, I may have a strong desire to flick it suddenly or toss it hard against a hard surface.

    Of course, PC > laptop > tablet > mobile > Coleco Vision > Macbook/Mac desktop.

    Depends on the game, really, but I usually prefer tablets over phones just because it's a bigger screen, so it ends up being more comfortable to play.

    I prefer a mobile because it lighter, and your thumbs move faster on your mobile then your fingers do on a tablet, Also with phones its easier to pick up wireless access points.

    I prefer phones because I can still get away with playing games at work. They are much easier to hide.

    I use an iPad. Even that I use sparingly. I don't have a smart phone.

    If I had to choose I would pick a tablet over a mobile phone though.

    Of course tablet, because the screen is big and it has bigger specs than mobile.

    I used to play on the Nintendo Gameboy for hours at a time when I was younger and it used to leave me feeling dizzy. I can only imagine what it would be like playing on a mobile that long.

    Tablets and mobiles are both suited for gaming. It depends on the specifications to decide which one is better. High end mobile phones and tablets are definitely suitable for gaming:)

    Neither actually but I do use my phone a lot for games. I never liked using my tablet for anything other than reading ebooks actually. And besides, tablets are a bit bulky for me but I think it would depend on what kind of game you're playing.

    I definitely prefer to play on a tablet compared to mobile. I mean, a mobile is more portable, but the experience is a lot better on the tablet. You have a bigger display and a stronger system.

    I'd play on my mobile only because I have a lot of emulators in it and I play Pokemon on my phone all the time. I've never gotten into tablet gaming except if it's a racing game then I'm cool with it. I'm more of a PC master race type of gamer but mobile would be my second choice.

    Mobiles are made for a specific purpose, so are tablets. I don't think you can compare them but you can prefer the use of each one for its particular purpose. I prefer Tablets for reading, mobiles for calling and having a conversation, as well as messaging.

    Tablet is more convenient, since the screen is bigger and easier to handle. However, for some games, I do have the apps on my mobile as well, just in case I'm out and about and want to sneak a turn or two in. ;)

    I think mobile is better than tablets because it's just a tablet with SIM card ! lol you can do all what you can do on tablet + you make calls, the only bad thing is it's smaller so it hurt the eyes a little bit

    A bit too big for my liking, those tablets... mobiles, although not that evident, would be better for gaming. But, really now... who uses phones for a truly immersive gaming experience?

    I play a racing game on both my mobile and my tablet, and I much prefer the game play on the tablet. The buttons are spaced out better, so I don't faceplant as often as I do on my phone.

    I never owned a tablet and I don't see the need for one. My phone is big enough (5.2") to be the only Android device I need to won, which is cool! :D

    I prefer using tablets for gaming over mobiles. I enjoy more space with my tablets writing and watching movies are a lot made easier for me on my tab. My mobile screen is not just big enough for me to really enjoy movies or writing.
