Come see Apple’s 27-year old tablet prototype…

January 23rd, 2010 admin

This morning we’re liking the look of these images of an Apple tablet prototype from 27-years ago. Dubbed ‘Bashful’, the computer was intended as an older brother for the Newton PDA. While it never made it to production prototype makers, Frog Design, (who also whipped up an Apple phone idea) has published some images. Gizmodo notes : “Despite only being 27 years old, this gadget almost feels like an archeological find in comparison to what we think we might see in the upcoming tablet.” Head over to that site for a few more images. Only four days until we see the future Apple tablet
