Comments on the clue
1.I liked this one but would have had trouble getting 'UNKIE' from the 'obs or US dialect' usage
2.Nice use of 'tablets'
3.Surface seems a bit contrived
4.A colourful surface but the wordplay is rather challenging and is 'tablets etc' a fair definition of the latest technology ?
5.12 "hooked on tablets" is a wonderfully distracting definition.
