Back in 1997 Apple was way ahead of its time when it released the Apple Message Pad. The device is almost similar to Apple’s iPad line. Before Rim created its Blackberry line, Apple had the same idea of having access to email all time. The device had flash memory which allowed you to store more names and data, create more documents, crunch more numbers, receive more e-mails, and add more applications. Even back then Apple had its eyes set on Apps!! More after the jump!! @YungJohnnybravo @tatWZA
