The Apple tablet is expected to be unveiled in just a few short hours, so we thought we’d kick things off early with this fascinating Apple video from the 1990s. It shows a colour Apple tablet concept in action, and it’s eerily prescient.
Steve Jobs may not have been at the helm at the time, but this video from yesterdecade shows off an Apple tablet that packs in an amazing amount of features identical to the ones rumoured about now in 2010.
Chiefly, the Apple tablet has a colour screen, stylus for input, and is shown being used for reading, as well as video conferencing. Things get really spooky at around 2:40, when you can see a smaller, Newton like device with crucial icons arranged on a row along the bottom, iPhone OS style.
