A tablet computer, commonly shortened to tablet, is a mobile device, typically with a mobile operating system and touchscreen display processing circuitry, and a rechargeable battery in a single, thin and flat package. Tablets, being computers, have similar capabilities, but lack some input/output (I/O) abilities that others have. Modern tablets largely resemble modern smartphones, the only differences being that tablets are relatively larger than smartphones, with screens 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured diagonally, and may not support access to a cellular network. Unlike laptops, tablets usually run mobile operating systems, alongside smartphones.

The usage share of an operating system is the percentage of computers running that operating system (OS).

Currently devices connected to the internet allow for web data collection to approximately measure OS usage.
Some mobile phones support use of two SIM cards, described as dual SIM operation. When a second SIM card is installed, the phone may allow users to switch between two separate mobile network services manually, have hardware support for keeping both connections in a "standby" state for automatic switching, or have two transceivers to maintain both network connections at once.
A mobile operating system is an operating system used for smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, smartglasses, or other non-laptop personal mobile computing devices. While computers such as typical/mobile laptops are "mobile", the operating systems used on them are usually not considered mobile, as they were originally designed for desktop computers that historically did not have or need specific mobile features. This "fine line" distinguishing mobile and other forms has become blurred in recent years, due to the fact that newer devices have become smaller and more mobile, unlike the hardware of the past. Key notabilities blurring this line are the introduction of tablet computers, light laptops, and the hybridization of the two in 2-in-1 PCs.

Yandex said it has "preliminary agreements" with manufacturers PocketBook, Texet and 3Q for pre-installation of the store with their products.
teXet plans to achieve this with the launch of the TM-7025, a 7-inch Android tablet that is now running on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, with the promise of Ice Cream Sandwich coming later.
Usually, the company launches its products in Eastern Europe (Russia to be more specific) but there's no reason why the new Textet X-Pad Style 7.1 3G would not have a life in other parts of the world as well.
Russian manufacturer teXet just unveiled its latest efforts when it comes to attracting customers in the country. The 7-inch NaviPad TM-7049 3G brings pretty average specs to the table, but comes bundled with two active SIM-cards.
