    Apple's iPad (left) is the top-selling tablet with 170 million units sold by mid-October 2013,
    followed by Amazon's Kindle Fire (right) with an estimated 7 million sold as of May 2012.
    A tablet computer, commonly shortened to tablet, is a thin, flat mobile computer with a
    touchscreen display, which in 2016 is usually color, processing circuitry, and a rechargeable
    battery in a single device. Tablets often come equipped with sensors, including digital cameras, a
    microphone, and an accelerometer. The touchscreen display uses the recognition of finger or
    stylus gestures to replace the mouse, trackpad and keyboard used in laptops. They usually feature
    on-screen, pop-up virtual keyboards for typing and inputting commands. Tablets may have
    physical buttons for basic features such as speaker volume and power, and ports for plugging in
    network communications, headphones and battery charging. Tablets are typically larger than
    smartphones or personal digital assistants with screens 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured
    diagonally.[1][2][3][4] Tablets have Wi-Fi capability built in so that users can connect to the Internet
    and can have cellular network capabilities.
    Tablets can be classified according to the presence and physical appearance of keyboards. Slates
    and booklets do not have a physical keyboard and text input and other input is usually entered
    through the use of a virtual keyboard shown on a touchscreen-enabled display. Hybrids,
    convertibles and 2-in-1s do have physical keyboards (although these are usually concealable or
    detachable), yet they typically also make use of virtual keyboards. Most tablets can use separate
    keyboards connected using Bluetooth.
    The format was conceptualized in the mid-20th century (Stanley Kubrick depicted fictional
    tablets in the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey) and prototyped and developed in the last two
    decades of that century. In April 2010,[5] the iPad was released, which was the first mass-market
    tablet with finger-friendly multi-touch and a dedicated operating system. In the 2010s, tablets
    rapidly rose in popularity and ubiquity and became a large product category[6] used for both
    personal and workplace applications.
