Apple iPad<br />
The Apple iPad is probably <strong>the</strong> most ubiquitous and most well-known of<br />
<strong>the</strong> tablets. Leveraging <strong>the</strong>ir momentum from <strong>the</strong> successful iPod, Apple<br />
released <strong>the</strong> iPad in 2010. Although it was not <strong>the</strong> first commercial<br />
tablet, it remains <strong>the</strong> most successful selling tablet, selling more tablets<br />
alone, than all o<strong>the</strong>r tablets combined.<br />
The iPad was very similar to <strong>the</strong> iPhone and iPod touch in design. It ran<br />
<strong>the</strong> same operating system as <strong>the</strong> iPhone and iPod and had many of <strong>the</strong><br />
same features, such as a camera and accelerometer. That may have<br />
contributed to its popularity.<br />
The only significant difference between <strong>the</strong> iPad and iPhone was that<br />
<strong>the</strong> iPad was basically an iphone without <strong>the</strong> phone capabilities and thus<br />
one did not have to sign up for a contract as well when buying an iPad.<br />
Apple is one of <strong>the</strong> dominating tech companies with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
iPad tablets, MacBook laptops, and iPhones.
