We’re moving, so a friend dropped off some boxes. One was a lost relic of the dotcom bust - the iPad before we knew we needed one. An “internet appliance” in a slick box, with a touchscreen and a 56K modem, it was underpowered but apparently quite hackable. 3com quickly discontinued it, and those who bought them from 3com directly got full refunds.

That’s lame even by the standards of the time.

I don’t even know where to begin with that trainwreck of a promo. From the bad stock images to the buzzwords to the weird laugh at the end.

It kinda has 3com all over it.
