Apple's iPad. 9 Years in the Making?

How queer!

Was just browsing through this site's archives and found this link to a prescient Kuro5hin article from May 2001:

The Apple iPad

  • Tablet: 11.5" x 9" x 0.7"
  • 12" 1024x768 LCD touch- and stylus-sensitive screen
  • No keyboard or mouse (optional attachment via USB)
  • USB port
  • Dual speakers and headphone jack
  • Internal HD
  • 5-hour battery life and charging cradle
  • Airport wireless connectivity
  • 2-3 lbs
  • $999

Which is particularly peculiar because the iPod wasn't even released until 5 months later.

  • MacRuby. A new competitor for the RubyCocoa bridge, directly from Apple. Tighter integration leading to better performance, and named arguments allowing for more natural translations of method names. Looks genuinely useful.

Where am I?

This is the personal site of Matthew Tarbit, a seasoned web developer holed-up in a hideaway somewhere in the depths of Leeds, England.

Should the mood arise, you might add my outpourings to the deluge that is your already overflowing info drip feed.

Alternately, rest a while and dig through my entries like a corpulent pig in search of all that is truffle-icious.
