The iPad runs the same operating system as the previously introduced iPod Touch and iPhone (initially iPhone OS 3.2, with an update to iOS 4 announced for Fall 2010). Likewise, it is controlled by a multitouch display sensitive to fingertip contact with up to eleven fingers. This is unlike most previous tablet computers which instead used a pressure-triggered stylus. It runs iPad-specific applications as well as those written for the iPhone and iPod Touch, including e-book readers. | The iPad runs the same operating system as the previously introduced [[iPod Touch]] and [[iPhone]] (initially iPhone OS 3.2, with an update to iOS 4 announced for Fall 2010).
