2) Hardware capable of running iOS, lightweight OS, great quality display, acceptable amount of flash storage, runs apps designed for touch, has brilliant battery life. Not too expensive. And they're able to do that because the technology was in place, but Apple got to it first and had exclusivity for nearly nine or ten months. Is thin and light.
That's the difference that 8 years of hardware and software innovation makes. The fact remains that the tablet wasn't Apple's idea, much as they might like to claim otherwise.
