- acqq 13y ago> touchscreen tablet No, I haven't seen anybody used touchscreen there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ8pQVDyaLo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ8pQVDyaLo We can even recognize that "the tablet" is by IIX and that it has 10 real buttons (1..9 than 0): http://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/rapny-1.jpeg http://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/rapny-1.jpeg So it was probably then designed as a portable flat TV. Still it looks good.
- fredoralive 13y agoThe device is by IBM, not IIX. The site below has some better pictures of the device's logo (and some other bits of “IBM” hardware), along with lots of pictures of Kubrick's preference for san-serif fonts: http://typesetinthefuture.com/2001-a-space-odyssey/ http://typesetinthefuture.com/2001-a-space-odyssey/
- acqq 13y agoYou're right, I haven't seen that even better resolution photo. http://typesetinthefuture.com/postfiles/2001/2001_ibm_tele_pro.jpg http://typesetinthefuture.com/postfiles/2001/2001_ibm_tele_p... We see even the brand: IBM TELE PRO So it is a flat TV set after all, made by IBM.
