The tablet computer market was invigorated by Apple through the introduction of the iPad device in 2010.While the iPad places restrictions on the owner to install software thus deviating it from the PC tradition, its uncompromising attention to the touch interface is considered a milestone to the tablet computer development history.In May 20, 2010 IDC published a press release defining the term media tablet as personal devices with screens from 7 to 12in., lightweight operating systems "currently based on ARM processors" which "provide a broad range of applications and connectivity, differentiating them from primarily single-function devices such as ereaders".IDC also predicted a market growth for tablets from 7.6 million units in 2010 to more than 46 million units in 2014.
At Consumer Electronics Show 2011, over 80 new tablets were announced to compete with the iPad. Companies who announced tablets included: Motorola, Samsung, Vizio, Toshiba, Asus, and the startup company Notion Ink. Many of these tablets are set to be running Android 3.0 Honeycomb, Google's mobile operating system for tablets.
