ilovetech Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ray Hammond said in his keynote that ipad was ready(designed) way back in 1985 even before when Jobs was fired. "John Sculley (the CEO Jobs had hired and who later fired Jobs) told me that Steve had left. But he said look at what Steve has left us with and he showed me a video which Steve had prepared. If you see the video, it is exactly the iPad. John then told me this product was meant to launch in 2010," Mr Hammond said in his keynote at the Nasscom Summit.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'm not creative enough to find a video that shows definite proof. </edit because my original post was too awesome to display...although, apparently, too short> Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1032075-ipad-was-ready-even-before-steve-jobs-was-fired-in-1985/#findComment-594377513 Share on other sites More sharing options...

br0adband Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Nice but, about 1.5 years late to the party in many respects: http://www.tomshardw...hone,10209.html 1968, even... hell, I was born in 1967 myself. :D (and even a video from Alan Kay): Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1032075-ipad-was-ready-even-before-steve-jobs-was-fired-in-1985/#findComment-594377517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Yea, I call bull**** as well. Unless a video can be produced and authenticated, then its pure RUMOR and BS....nothing else. Sounds to me that Hammond is just trying to get his name out there. And why wait until after Jobs died to announce this?

+virtorio MVC Posted October 13, 2011 MVC Share Posted October 13, 2011 I wonder if this is the video they're talking about (come across it on someones twitter feed a few days ago): NSFW: So cringe worthy that it'll make you swear uncontrollably, in other words, it's bad.

Still doesnt prove that Jobs produced it. And if you click on the link in the vid, says Alan Kay. If this is the correct video.
