Not quite. Steve liked DynaBook, but he thought it was a laptop computer. If he'd taken the job as head of Apple Research, that's what he would have produced. Apple had a tablet - the Newton - and Steve killed it when he came back. It turned out what he hated about tablets was the need for a stylus, which was the Microsoft approach (like the Newton), and that's what he wanted to prove wrong.
- pinwale 15y agoIt should be noted that Apple was interested in smart pens rather than styluses. Apple has at least 13 patents relating to smart pens. source: http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2011/09/apple-wins-a-patent-for-a-super-smart-pen-which-predates-livescribe.html http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2011/09/apple-wi...
