[citation][nom]dreamphantom_1977[/nom]The dynabook doesn't even look like the ipad. You want to know where he stole the idea from? Yep.....Star trek. From the original Star trek to Star Trek Next Generation (which came out in 1987), voyager and up they have been using devices just like the ipad. Here is a video and pics, see for yourself. Yeah, they weren't real, but the concept was there. Full touch mini computer with it's own O.S. If you ask me I think apple should pay royalties to Gene Roddenberry. Apple never has it's own ideas. Always steeling them. That why apple gets sued so much.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVq [...] re=relatedNotice the center button just like the ipod and ipad? (below)Probably the best example (below)Almost every one of these devices works like an ipod, small touch screen mobile computer, and on most of them they used there finger just like people do with the ipad, ipod touch. Want to see what else became real from Star Trek?[/citation]
While the datapads from star trek were the first things I thought of when i saw the ipad could you plz keep it to 1 or 2 pics.
Also one thing Id like to see is a "global" from "Earth: Final Conflict" A pull out video cellphone is pretty close to possible now with FOLED and 4g networks.
Though with a global, people would be crashing on the highway about 10,000% more lol
