Apple also released https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton

Which was a great idea and a very innovative product literally ahead of it’s time by 15 years.

I bought a used newton from the lead engineer on the newton. I loved the device and used it regularly until my then girlfriend stepped on it and broke the display. Needless to say that relationship wasn’t long after that ;-)

I later had a palm. It was garbage compared to the newton even if it was 1/8 the size. I’m glad to see the newton essentially return as the iPhone/iPad.
