What's this? A fuzzy photo of the Apple Tablet? Well, yeah, kind of. It's a photo from around right around 1990 of a an unreleased tablet from the company--the Pen Mac. It's a full-on Macintosh with a pen-based touch screen. According to reports, the whole thing was roughly an inch thick and had a port for a keyboard.
The image comes from Michael Arrington who is calling the thing an exclusive. The guy in the picture is Samir Arora, the current CEO of Glam Media, who worked on the project and recently informed the TechCrunch founder of its existence.
The device's demise came when Apple's then-CEO John Sculley vetoed the device in-favor of the not especially well received Newton.
