Apple’s tablet concept dates back 20 years

The Apple Tablet or iSlate as it is now being called has been all the buzz around Apple for the last year or so. So much speculation has been made surrounding this device and it now seems as though it will be announced this month.

It turns out that Apple first though up the tablet concept in the late 80’s; a device then known as the Knowledge Navigator. This revolutionary device, as shown in this promotional video was nothing short of amazing for the era. Voice recognition, a human-like personal assistant able to search and retrieve data as well as manage scheduals and tasks. It even took video calls and had Maps!

I find it amazing that even in 1987, Apple was already thinking of the fundamental technologies that would later be widely used in the twenty-first century.

“Incredible, amazing, awesome Apple”

The tech columnists are raving about Snow Leopard. After Dave Pogue’s video comes Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal.

I think Mosspuppet got his OS’s mixed up though. It sounds to me from what he was describing like the old bugger was actually using Windows. Ahh those old people. Always getting their OS’s wrong.

New York Times technology columnist David Pogue (@pogue on Twitter) has released a very instructive educational video about the building blocks of operating systems, Mac OS 10.6 in particular. In his 3:25 minute episode he talks about the traditional software business model and explores some of the new features (or lack of features) in Apple’s new shiny OS.
