Is Electronic Flight Bag(EFB) any different from our day-to-day tablet?

Other than the fact that EFB must be installed with appropiate charts and other manuals, is there any difference between EFB and normal tablet? Can I use the same tablet I play Plant VS Zombie as EFB if I load appropiate charts?

Has Jeppesen announced plans to stop supporting the Microsoft platform for Flight Deck Pro?

I heard a rumor around the water cooler recently that Jeppesen plans to drop support for Microsoft and have continued development of Flight Deck Pro EFB software only available on Apple. Has anyone seen anything that could confirm or refute this?
