Chapter 3 history on tablets

The tablet and the associated special operating software is an example of pen computing technology, and thus the development of tablets has deep historical roots.[1] The first patent for a system that recognized handwritten characters by analyzing the handwriting motion was granted in 1915.[2] The first publicly demonstrated system using a tablet and handwriting recognition instead of a keyboard for working with a modern digital computer dates to 1956.[3]

In addition to many academic and research systems, there were several companies with commercial products in the 1980s: Pencept, Communications Intelligence Corporation, and Linus were among the best known of a crowded field. Later, GO Corp. brought out the PenPoint OS operating system for a tablet computer product: a patent from GO corporation was the subject of an infringement lawsuit concerning the Tablet PC operating system.[4]

Usually, they are downloaded from the platform to a target device, such as an iPhone,BlackBerry, Android phone or Windows Phone, but sometimes they can be downloaded to laptops
