GrandPad (2014) by GrandPad

A purpose-built tablet that let families skip the setup hell of an iPad.

A tablet that only does the useful parts.

GrandPad stripped a tablet down to calls, photos, and a human help desk. It proved older adults would use computers if the computer refused to become a puzzle.

Opened the senior-specific device category after years of 'just use an iPad.'
