History

Apple's development of a tablet computer began with the creation and introduction of the Newton-based MessagePad 100 in 1993. Part of this development process led to the creation of the ARM6 core as a collaboration between Apple and Acorn Computers. Apple had meanwhile developed a prototype tablet computer called PenLite but did not commercialize it as it did not wish to compromise Newton sales. Several other Newton-based PDAs were introduced up to the MessagePad 2100, the last in Apple's PDA line, which was discontinued in 1998. Development of tablet computer prototypes within Apple began as early as 2000. The development of the tablet, particularly Apple's multi-touch technology, was combined with the development of the iPhone and iPod Touch and included technology acquired by Apple through the acquisition of FingerWorks in 2005. The product was announced on January 27, 2010 at an Apple press conference at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. The impending launch of the device had been the subject of rumors and speculation for several months, with iSlate and iTablet among the rumored names.

Trivia

• Apple developed a tablet prototype called PenLite in the 1990s, but chose not to commercialize it to avoid damaging Newton sales, demonstrating a very bold market protection strategy. • The iPad's revolutionary multi-touch technology derived from the acquisition of FingerWorks in 2005, a company specialized in gesture recognition that was fundamental to the development of the device's innovative interface. • Before the official iPad announcement on January 27, 2010, the product circulated under speculative names like "iSlate" and "iTablet," generating months of rumors and anticipation among Apple fans.
