This is a pretty interesting collection of 5 Apple Prototype products that never made it to market. What’s really intersting about it, is two of the products, the phone and the tablet Mac, are still active rumors to this day. The latest rumors now seem to expect both to show up sometime in 2007. I suspect that may be true for the phone, but I’m not so sure about a tablet Mac. I’d love to see one, but Microsoft’s Tablet PC has hardly taken the world by storm. I actually own one of the stupid things and bolting tablet functions to a desktop OS is just clunky. I haven’t touched the thing in over a year. Of course if it ran an OS truly designed for the tablet experience, with software also truly designed for the tablet experience I might find it more useful. Apple does have an OS designed for that usage, of course, it needs a fair bit of modernization.
