OK, let the record to show, that when I made my prediction in 1998, I even got the name right. Here's what I wrote, "The PAD (Personal Access Device) will become the dominant tool for online education, combining the function of book, notebook, and pen. Think of the PAD as a lightweight notebook computer with touchscreen functions and high speed wireless internet access. The PAD will look like a contemporary clipboard and will weigh about as much. Its high-resolution screen will deliver easy-to-read text, video and multimedia. The PAD will accept voice commands, recognize your handwriting, or accept input via a touch-screen keyboard." Apple's iPad was announced today, and yes, I want one. I predicted a $300 pricetag; it comes in (on day one) at $499. More, from Mashable, Gearlog, CJR, Mike Caulfield, BBC, and... phew!
