Tablet--History

UMPCs (Ultra-mobile PCs) is where the dream first started. Making this dream a reality meant squeezing a PC into a device the size and shape of the tablet that we see today. There were too many hurdles in the process, and the end result was an extremely expensive piece of hardware which still wasn’t as compact as the tablets we see today. The tablets we see today were born via a parallel development process – one that was meant for mobile phones.
