  'Dobro' vs 'Resonator' Question?

Is there a difference between a Dobro and a Resonator guitar?
I understand that Dobro is a brand name, as is National, etc, and that there are round neck and square necks.
But if someone is considered a 'dobro' player, rather than a 'slide player', what does that imply?
Does a Dobro player only play lap style, while a slide player is 'upright'?
But then what is the difference between a lap steel (not pedal) and a dobro player?
I just want to get my terminology straight.
Thanks.
Barry
