Fictional and prototype tablets[edit]
Tablet computers appeared in a number of works of science fiction in the second half of the 20th century, with the depiction of Arthur C. Clarke's NewsPad,[14] in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the description of Calculator Pad in the 1951 novel Foundation by Isaac Asimov, the Opton in the 1961 novel Return from the Stars by Stanislaw Lem, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in Douglas Adams's 1978 comedy of the same name, and the numerous devices depicted in Gene Roddenberry 1966 Star Trek series, all helping to promote and disseminate the concept to a wider audience.[15] A device more powerful than today's tablets appeared briefly in Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven's 1974 The Mote in God's Eye.[16]
In 1968 computer scientist Alan Kay envisioned a KiddiComp, while a PhD candidate[17][18] he developed and described the concept as a Dynabook in his 1972 proposal: A personal computer for children of all ages,[19] the paper outlines the requirements for a conceptual portable educational device that would offer functionality similar to that supplied via a laptop computer or (in some of its other incarnations) a tablet or slate computer with the exception of the requirement for any Dynabook device offering near eternal battery life. Adults could also use a Dynabook, but the target audience was children.
The sci-fi TV series Star Trek The Next Generation featured tablet computers which were designated as "padds".[20]
In 1994 the European Union initiated the 'OMI-NewsPAD' project (EP9252), inspired by Clarke and Kubrick's fictional work.[21] Acorn Computers developed and delivered an ARM-based touch screen tablet computer for this program, branded the NewsPad. The Barcelona-based trial ended in 1997.[22]
During the Nov, 2000 COMDEX Microsoft used the term Tablet PC to describe a prototype handheld device they were demonstrating.[23][24][25]
In 2001 Ericsson Mobile Communications announced an experimental product named the DelphiPad which was developed in cooperation with the Centre for Wireless Communications in Singapore, with touch-sensitive screen, Netscape Navigator as web browser and Linux as its operating system
