Apple Paladin - a draft of which you probably never heard of

Projects that Apple has canceled at the stage of development and research, are not less interesting than the products launched into mass production. One such project is the Paladin.

Work on the creation Paladin began in 1995. The project was called Project X. Apple sought to unite in a single device a landline phone, a fax machine, a personal computer and a scanner. Managers start from the fact that the main buyers will be small businesses and hotels.

At Apple Paladin was monochrome LDC-display and the hard drive of 160 MB. As used OS 7.1 (Big Bang) as the operating system. The main program, Complete Office, allowed switch between phone, fax and computer at the touch of a button. An interesting feature - places without the logo on the package.

Apple Paladin never went into production. However, some prototypes appeared on internet auction sites. Below - a few pictures of this unusual device. Their author - Jim Abeles.
