Obviously, the answer is yes, Late 1950’s a research was made on touchscreen devices at that time too and the resultant was the first commercial tablet computer called GRiDPad invented in 1989, and was based on Microsoft DOS operating system.

From that time period the tablet windows technology have perpetually developed and the result is what we know see, portable devices, a complete computer in your hands. Know doubt the emergence of Apple iPad was the very first giant success to the company as well as to the audience, as they could believe with the gadget.
