Original caption

tablet computing became mainstream in the early 2010s due to the first-generation ipad coming out in early 2010. before the ipad, tablets were not called tablets, they were called internet tablets, tablet pcs, or mids (mobile internet devices). these tablets were mostly made by nokia and archos, and some of these even ran full linux. yup, full linux in ur pocket! the nokia 770 internet tablet, n800, n810, and n900 ran an early debian fork known as maemo. there were no android tablets back then, but this changed in 2010, when samsung introduced the galaxy tab, a 7in tablet that had flagship hardware and full android (albeit the phone version of it, since proper android tablet ui didn't come out till 2011), plus this tablet could also be used as a then-huge phone. around mid 2010, the aosp (android open source project) team started development for a new android version that was meant to only run on tablets. this version was known as honeycomb, and was officially released in 2011, alongside the motorola xoom. before this, android tablets used to have very clunky uis. honeycomb was not open source at launch due to not being optimized for phones, and if it was open source, devs would've quickly ported it to the latest google nexus or samsung galaxy phone. android 4.0, also known as ice cream sandwich, solved this issue by refining the phone ui and adding software navigation keys to the phone ui, while keeping the tablet ui to devices with a dp (not dpi) higher than 600. in 2012, if u wanted a tablet, the most popular ones were: - ipad 2 - samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 - samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 the ipad 2 was the most expensive one, and the galaxy tab 2s were the midrange android competitor (keywords: nostalgia, 2012 android, december 25, nexus 10, android tablet, ipad 4, google nexus, galaxy tab 2 7.0, early 2010s, android kitkat, motorola xoom, galaxy tab 7.7, honeycomb, android 3.0, android 4.2.2 jelly bean) #TechTok #fyp #xyzbca #cidstech #tablet
