Article on Roger Fidler

And a youtube video

Interesting article on the ideas that seem almost lifted word for word on use in the iPad (and other tablets) as well as the vision for a "tablet newspaper" computing device.

Obviously the UI is drastically different and the physical characteristics have also changed but the overall ideas seem very similar from the article and video to what we have in tablet devices today.

Looks like a more feature-rich, color version of the Newton, which was shipped prior to this device even having a conceptual design video released, so I don't think this would be good evidence against Apple.
