The GridPad (stylized as GRiDPad) is a discontinued family of pen-enabled tablet computers and hybrid laptops built by Grid Systems Corporation.
The GRiDPad 1900, released in September 28, 1989, is regarded as the first commercially successful tablet computer and predecessor to modern 2-in-1 devices. Jeff Hawkins went on to use the GRiDPad as a predecessor for his best known-invention, the Palm Pilot.
