Apple’s Vision of an ‘iPad’ Back in 1987

What was exactly forecasted: A touchscreen interface.

What was better than forecasted: What eventually became the iPad is much smaller (and not at all cumbersome like the device in this video).

What has not occurred yet that was forecasted: An interactive operating system interface with a talking entity. (Although Skype obviously occurred and is available on handheld devices.)
