In 2001, the computer software company Microsoft popularized a new concept called the tablet personal computer (tablet PC), a wireless flat panel portable powerful personal computer with a touch screen. Today’s tablet PC can run on Microsoft and other software operating systems. The first tablet PC idealized was mentioned by Alan Kay from Xerox in 1971. The Newton from Apple was the first to be available in the retail market in 1991 but didn’t make an impact as the present day tablet PC.
