Importance of the IPad

The iPad was the successor to the iPhone. The iPad was actually in development prior to the iPhone's conception, but Jobs decided to put the iPad on the back-burner, as he thought that if he could get the technology to work in a phone, he could get it to work in a tablet. One of the biggest features of the iPad was its lack of stylus and multi-touch support. The iPad kick-started the rather stagnant tablet computing industry.
