Gotta disagree with that. Given the proclivity these days to refer to a tablet as an "iPad" (see "Band Aid," "Xerox," etc.) it is more likely that the person was asking about a tablet than an iPad specifically. Saying "No, I don't have an iPad, but I do have an Android tablet" is the correct answer. Just saying No, then having the person find the tablet and question why you mislead them (never mind that the answer was accurate) is the more than likely outcome of that. Best to be avoided.

Cheers.
