Your Ipad Story

Apple’s strength is that they have a strong marketing force. You build an applealing easy concept and build accessories around it. This is the short history of the Ipad.Apple’s first tablet computer was the Newton MessagePad 100, introduced in 1993, which led to the creation of the ARM6 processor core with Acorn Computers. Apple also developed a prototype PowerBook Duo-based tablet, the PenLite, but did not sell it to avoid hurting MessagePad sales. Apple released several more Newton-based PDAs, and discontinued the last, the MessagePad 2100, in 1998.Apple reentered the mobile-computing market in 2007 with the iPhone. Smaller than the iPad but featuring a camera and mobile phone, it pioneered the multitouch interface of iPhone OS. By late 2009, the iPad’s release had been rumored for several months; iSlate and iTablet were among speculated names. The iPad was announced on January 27, 2010 by Steve Jobs at an Apple press conference at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.Three days later, at the 52nd Grammy Awards, Stephen Colbert used an iPad in announcing the nominees.Apple began taking pre-orders for the iPad from U.S. customers on March 12, 2010.
