Android+Tablet


 * Introduction:** The Android Tablet is basically a mobile computer with the Google Android operating system. This type of tablet was created to compete against Apple's first tablet created in April 2010. The main difference between the two Google offers most of the code for its operating system so many companies can use the android system compared to Apple's secretive code that stays with Apple alone.

 * History:** Microsoft originally created a tablet in the early 2000's which was specified for field work in business. However, these devices did not become popular due to their defects and price. Then in April 2010, Apple released the IPad which had a main focus on media consumption. The reasons this tablet became more popular than the previous tablets are: shift in purpose, battery life, cost, usability and the lightweight factor. Apple opened the door for many other tablets to become produced, especially that with the Google Android operating system.
