I-pad vs tablet

[raindove]

Can someone tell me the difference between an I-pad and a tablet?
Thanks

Tablet is a generic term. The iPad is Apple's tablet. iPad is a (semi) specific type of tablet since there are different models and sizes.

It's similar to how one might describe the way we travel. We all have something that might be described using the generic term "RV". Some of us have a class A, B or C, or a fifth wheel or travel trailer, etc. Mention the manufacturer and model, and you're being more specific.

An ipad runs Apple's proprietary operating system, and tablets run either Anroid, Windows, or other operating systems.

They're actually the same thing. Do you mean Apple iPad vs Android Tablet?
