The iPad is a mighty successful device, and most owners love it for its flexibility and style.

Tablets have been around for about a decade now and still, the iPad is the first ever fully successful attempt at making a tablet that everyone can use. Ironically, the company who really wanted to make the tablet a success is not the one who made the most successful tablet till date — it’s rival is.
