In case you didn't already know, the name iPhone it was not invented by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, in reality those from Cisco had registered the name i-phone as a trademark, and the adjacent ones, long before that Steve Jobs to present his smartphone to the whole world. If things are clear in the case of the iPhone, probably many of you will be surprised to find out that nor the name iPad it was not designed by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, she being initially brought to the attention of the whole world by Intel.
One of the devices that's interesting, we call it an I-pad, an information pad. It would be a device that has a flat-panel screen. You can write on it, touch it. You might be able to speak into it and it might speak back. It would be wireless, cheap and have different forms in the house. Some early forms of an "I-pad" are Apple Computer Inc.'s Newton, Motorola Inc.'s Envoy and IBM's Simon devices, which have both computing and communication features.
In 1994, those from Intel they discussed the idea of a so-called i-pad or information pad, and in the image above you can see an article published in the US press. Microsoft he imagined that this device would be an informational hub that could replace books of any kind, that it could replace a telephone, a fax machine, a radio, a television, a map guidance system, a CD player, a watch and the more importantly a computer. Practically in 1994, Intel imagined that tablets would replace a good part of the electronic products used in everyday life, and they were right.
Although the idea was presented to the world in 1994, only in 2001 did Intel present a functional model of the iPad at CES, but the device did not attract the attention of the whole world, at least not as much as the current version of the iPad.
