Very few people are aware of the fact that the tablet computers have existed for almost 20 years. People really started focusing attention on them in April 2010 because of the release of iPad 1. And since iPad was launched, the sales of iPad are extremely high, even higher than that of iPhone and that of iPod.

There are two of many reasons why iPad can be sold better than Android tablets. The first one is that iPads are only manufactured and sold by Apple company whereas Android tablets are manufactured differently by every single companies. That is to say, the different companies’ tablets have to compete with not only iPad but also other companies’ tablets.

In addition, the Apple programmers did plenty work and research before they launched the iPad. When they launch iPad, there were already plenty of applications. While the Android producers were too anxious to follow the step of Apple to launch the tablets. When the first Android tablets ‘Xoom’  was launched, there was too little applications in there Android tablets.

There are still many reasons why iPads are so successful in the area of tablet computers. And now Apple company launched the iPad mini with Retina, although there are not many differences from iPad mini, it still are sold very well compared with other Android tablets.
