I don't believe that is what he meant. You asked "Can I use the word 'my cell phone' or 'my smart phone' instead of 'ipad'?", and I think he said no because the devices are different, i.e. the meaning changes, not because there is anything wrong in terms of English.

sb700121. I watch movies on ipad.
2. I watch movies on my cell phone.
3. I watch movies on smart phone.

Spelling: iPad.

I'm not sure whether the omission of "my" from (1) and (3) is accidental. In your previous post you had "my". Anyway, I wouldn't personally use "iPad" and "smart phone" like this without determiners. It's possible that some people might.
