Apple's iPad wasn't the first tablet computer, but it's the most
popular: 3 million iPads were sold in the first 80 days they were
available.
It is an IOS-based line of tablet computers designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The first iPad was released on April 3, 2010; the most recent iPad models are the iPad Air 2, released on October 22, 2014, and the iPad mini 4, released on September 9, 2015. The user interface is built around the device's multi touchscreen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models. As of January 2015, there have been over 250 million iPads sold.
An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions – games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc. – can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs said in a 1983 speech that the company's strategy is really simple. What we want to do is we want to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you and learn how to use in 20 minutes ... and we really want to do it with a radio link in it so you don’t have to hook up to anything and you’re in communication with all of these larger databases and other computers.
In the last quarter of 2013, there were 26 million iPads sold, an Apple
record, compared to 22.9 million in the last quarter of 2012 and 21.42
million in the last quarter of 2014.
