How tablet was made ?

Tablet... When Microsoft introduced it in 2001 but the response were not very well received back then.
However, 9 years later, the Steve Jobs introduced the OMFG-it-is-iPad, it literally taken world by storm !

I oversimplify the creation process of the tablets

(1) Designer
- The product designers designs the aesthetic looks of the tablet look and feel like where home button is located etc . . .  ( Please Apple fanboys, stop complaining about how other tablets "copy" the iPad'copyrighted' shapes, other manufacturers also try with other shapes too but it looks weird )
- There are also hardware designer who designs how antenna would look like and whether it would receive calls, SMS, FM and even the 3G/4G wave signals and also the handles how the components should be located inside the tablet
-And again, there are software designer who dictates how the stock operating system GUI look likes including the minute details such as gap between the applications icons !
Sometimes, these fellows will make the smartphone lag (as in :P Nokia)

(2) Engineer
- Literally, the guys who put all the hardware and operating system specifications together
- Examples, like software/embedded/firmware engineers which will made the OS (like Android, iOS, Symbian, Window Phone etc ... ) to be compatible to the hardware
-Also there are test engineer who test the hardware and software that work correctly as it should
-Product development engineers well ... erhem.. their job scopes is very wide...

(3) Production
-This is where the prototype tablet will be mass produced to cater the world wide demands
-Usually, the components inside tablets is  manufactured in various parts of the world but the final assemblies will be done in China (most of the time)

In short , the pics below summarizes all the people who brings you the tablet to life !
