From telegraph fax machines to Apple iPads and Google Android, tablets and touchscreen technology have come a long way.
The Apple iPad ignited the consumer's passion for tablet computers and inspired competitors to create their own brand of touch-screen tablet PCs. Each 7-inch or 10-inch tablet advertises as revolutionary or magical hardware or software, leaving the impression that tablet computers are the representatives of new technologies and that the world has quickly launched an upsurge of tablet computers.
But all technologies have gone through the baptism of time, and tablets are no exception. The history of tablet computer technology has spanned a century. As early as July 1888, the electronic stylus device invented by inventor Elisha Gray, which can obtain handwritten information, was granted a U.S. patent. According to his original application, the telegraph facsimile machine uses telegraph technology to send handwritten information between the sending and receiving stations.
After World War II, with the help of computational progress, tablet computer research accelerated its pace. Electronic text and handwriting recognition technology made great contributions to RAND's RAND tablet PC in 1964. According to the internal research memorandum of the RAND project, “The RAND Tablet PC is considered to be the first digital graphics device and its cost is relatively low. For a long time, the Tablet PC developed by RAND has been considered by the Advanced Research Projects Agency. Part of it is an area of ​​interest in the field of artificial communications and interactions.The initial major tasks of the RAND Tablet include digital map information and research on the secret application of human-computer interaction graphics language.The product can be written in a natural way using a stylus, with a size of 10 Inches *10 inches.
Of course, RAND Tablet PC is not suitable for playing "Angry Birds" game. But science fiction has introduced the concept of tablet computers. In 2001: A Space Odyssey directed by Stanley Kubrick, the American film director, the astronaut who landed on Jupiter could watch the video on the tablet.
In the 80's and 90's of the last century, manufacturers focused on exploring devices that use stylus input and can recognize handwriting input. During the period, Pencept and Communication Intelligence Corporation and other companies developed the technology; in 1988, Wang Laboratories provided a digital tablet Freestyle, allowing users to use a stylus on the desktop, at any computer display Handwritten or annotated.
One year later, GRiD Systems Corporation released a GRiDpad touch screen computer. In the late 1980s, GO Corporation began developing a stylus-based operating system called PenPoint OS, which was introduced in 1991.
During the period, Apple first entered the field of tablet PCs. In 1987, the then Apple Computer named Apple Computer produced some beautiful conceptual videos for the Knowledge Navigator device. The product hinge closes like a traditional notebook and can recognize and respond to user voice. As a concept product, Knowledge Navigator is more futuristic than Kubrick's vision, but Apple is also developing a more realistic product: the Newton project. The project produced results in 1993, and a handheld device capable of identifying handwriting was introduced.
Although Apple CEO Steve Jobs strangled the project in 1997, the device is still a worthy product. Whether it is organizing a “future affairs list†or looping for contacts, the Newton project is a representation of the PenPoint OS and similar software visions of the time: any user can use digital devices like pens and paper.
The Newton project can compete with Palm at least in the final year of the end. Palm is a famous manufacturer of early PDA products. Palm products run Palm OS using a stylus-enabled graphical interface.
Microsoft is also exploring touch technology and has released Windows for Pen Computing for Windows 3.1x to fight PenPoint OS. During the 1990s, Microsoft continued to upgrade its software. A few years later, Microsoft became the target of litigation and was accused of attempting to destroy Go Corporation in the early 1990s.
"Tablets will be the best selling PC in the United States"
Microsoft’s Bill Gates demonstrated a prototype tablet computer at the 2001 computer show and predicted that the tablet will become the best-selling product in the next five years. The product is thin and runs Windows XP and includes Autodesk's CAD software and Groove collaboration platform.
Gates told the audience: "The PC will enable computing to enter everyone's office from the back office. Tablet PCs use PC's superior technology to enter every corner of the user's life. This is exactly why I use my tablet as a daily computer. Tablet is a Unlimited PCs. I expect that the tablet PC will become the best selling PC in the United States in the next five years."
In 2002, Microsoft released a software upgrade based on stylus input, the Windows XP Tablet PC version, and an upgrade service pack in 2005. Although Gates predicts that tablet PCs will be the best-selling PCs in the United States, tablet PCs are still a tool of the niche industry, mainly for health care, and have not entered the mainstream market.
Other companies are considering how to make tablets into the mass consumer market.
The iPhone was born in the summer of 2007. After the success of this smart phone, Apple began to develop a mature tablet computer, stylus support from letting the finger touch.
In June 2010, the Apple CEO stated at the D8 conference: “My idea is to have a glass display, a multi-touch display, and talked about this idea with employees. After 6 months, employees Gave me this amazing display. I thought, my God, we can use this display to make a cell phone."
Apple launched the iPad in April 2010. Steve Jobs said at the D8 conference that the 9.7-inch tablet has sold 2 million units, becoming the fuse for Apple's competitors to compete to launch competitive products. Within months, RIM announced the production of the BlackBerry PlayBook, which runs the QNX operating system; Samsung introduced the 7-inch Galaxy Tab, which runs the Google Android operating system.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer presented an HP-produced tablet at the keynote address at the 2010 CES show. He said: "The tablet's portability is comparable to that of a mobile phone, but its functionality is just as powerful as a PC running Windows 7. The new PC will integrate touch and portability."
He emphasized that the tablet computer can access the Internet, display e-books, and play multimedia content. The end of 2010, Hewlett-Packard spent 1.2 billion US dollars acquisition of Palm, and access to Palm's webOS operating system, the Microsoft Tablet PC plan to add more uncertainties. The long-awaited HP Windows 7 version of the Slate 500 tablet is geared toward businesses and has limited production. At the same time, Hewlett-Packard paid attention to webOS tablet rumors.
Ballmer likes to focus on tablet topics in future public trends. Although the industry is increasingly concerned with gesture control and virtual keyboards, Ballmer still prefers stylus input. He said at the D8 conference: “Do we think people still want to take notes? What is the best way to take notes? Of course, there are all kinds of ways we will support all the ways. Today, we provide equipment using stylus. , I think people want to use the new technology to complete the work of the pen and paper."
At the end of 2010, it was rumored that Microsoft will announce a mainstream tablet PC at the 2011 CES show, but Microsoft announced a new version of Windows that supports the SoC architecture, adding chips for Microsoft Windows to settle in tablet PCs and mobile products.
The war still continues Google's foothold in the smart phone field and has become an operating system provider for manufacturers to enter the tablet market. However, Google is faced with a small problem. Its Android was originally an operating system designed for smart phones, and the size of smart phone displays is too small, forcing Google to launch an optimized operating system for tablets - Android 3.0 - Honeycomb. Honeycomb first landed on the Motorola Xoom tablet in early 2011.
At the same time, Samsung, LG and other companies released the latest Tablet PCs running Honeycomb; HP said that the webOS operating system will not only enter mobile devices but will also enter PCs.
Hewlett-Packard CEO Leo Apotheker said at the press conference on March 14: “There is no doubt that webOS will be an attractive technology that can be seamlessly interconnected with a large number of devices. We see it as a huge one. Global platform."
In March 2011, Apple released iPad 2 and hopes to continue its dominance in the increasingly competitive tablet market. According to the customer's response, the public's preference for tablet PCs has increased in the past year and has affected the corporate sector. IT administrators said that more and more employees want tablets to shoulder their daily office functions.
Microsoft and manufacturers jointly launched a small number of Windows 7 tablets, but failed to enter the consumer tablet market. There are currently rumors that Microsoft's 2012 release of Windows 8 will add tablet optimization elements.
Although analysts generally expect that Apple will continue to gain most of the tablet market share in the coming years due to its predominance, the outlook is not clear. Market research firm Gartner's latest report shows that by the end of 2015, Apple's iOS will continue to dominate the tablet PC market with a share of approximately 47.1%; followed by Android, with a share of 38.6%; RIM's QNX operating system share is 10%; HP's webOS share is 3%; MeeGo share is 1%; other share is 0.2%.
