Network World recently got its hands on portions of a deposition Apple designer Jony Ive gave at Samsung’s request this past December, and he revealed that Apple was working on tablet prototypes “sometime between 2002 and 2004.” What’s more, the documents contained some grainy but revealing photos of a tablet computer prototype known as the “035 mockup or prototype” which Jony Ive dates to that same early-2000’s period.
Between 2002/2004 and 2010 it might be safe to say they were working on making it thinner as well as waiting to see how the iPhone did when it was released in 2007. Steve Jobs did mention that they were working on the iPad before the iPhone and felt to take a different direction for the time being.
