In the video on the evolution of tablets, Motorola has some interesting comments on the existing tablets. Check it out
Egyptian Hieroglyphic Tablet (3200 B.C.): Good Graphics, but weight makes it difficult for portability.- Tablets of Stone – Ten Commandments (440-1500 B.C.): Excellent Durability, but zero flexibility (can’t edit)
- Rosetta Stone (196 B.C.): Multi-lingual support, but low-resolution screen
- Mayan Engraved Tablets (500 A.D.): Successful Latin American distribution, but rumored 2012 self-destruct feature
- GRiDPad (1989 A.D.): Launched as inventory tool, but 20MB hard drive limits inventory to just 12 items
- iPad (2010 A.D.): It’s like a giant iPhone, but…it’s like a giant iPhone
- Galaxy Tab (2010 A.D.): Android OS, but Android OS… for a phone
