IE10 has introduced the Touch token to the UA string, which overlaps in
intent with our Tablet token.
Dao suggests it would be nice to get cross-browser consistency here.

This makes some sense to me. "Touch" is more the matter of interest than
the form factor. If we do switch, we should do it before we ship native
Fennec on tablets.
Anyone want to argue for or against?

I'm late to this discussion. Sorry.
Tablet is soon to become a much less useful token -- especially on
Windows. We are about to see a flood of convertible laptop/tablets as
well as touch-enabled laptops and all-in-one PCs.
Also, we may need this token to be dynamic. For something like
Microsoft's Surface (and the half dozen or so similar convertibles
that'll be released this year,) some of the time the device will be
"touch screen and keyboard+trackpad" and other times it will be "touch
screen only" depending on what configuration is being used.
I think we should go with Touch like Microsoft and not Tablet.
