MPad

The mPad tablet computer by Mirconoft was introduced as a competitor to Grapple's successful grPad. In contrast to the grPad, the mPad comes with a ultra-thin keyboard equipped as standard in the front cover. Another feature that the mPad has and the grPad does not, is a stand, which is inbuilt into the back of the device. The mPad's real life equivalent is the Microsoft Surface.

The mPad has very successful marketshare, beating its main rival the grPad.
