In a TUAW post from May of 2009, we considered what Apple’s next big thing might be. In retrospect, it’s amazing how close we were to the iPad:
“…. consider [ebooks] on a device with a color touch screen that also has your photos and music, maybe even a few fun apps, and ubiquitous connectivity. Also notice that Apple’s keyboards have been getting smaller and thinner lately. The Bluetooth model without the number pad would be a perfect companion.”
Eerie.
