I remember vividly how unfun resistive touchscreens were. Especially on tablet computers, which existed long before the iPad, but never caught on. They also had terrible battery life, ugly TFT screens and backlights, unreliable wireless connectivity, laggy UI (Apple seems to be the only company that cared about a consistent 60Hz response), and I think a lot of them ran Windows CE? I'm not sure about that last one, I don't remember, but I'm sure the software sucked. (I'm excluding the Palm-Pilot-ish devices with low-powered CPUs and monochrome LCDs here; those started popping up in the 80's, and of course there was the failed Apple Newton. The devices I'm talking about were basically x86 laptops without keyboards.)
