MessagePad

The MessagePad was a touchscreen mobile device and the very first tablet released by Apple Computer. It ran on a monochrome Newton OS, which was advanced for its day, and came with a stylus similar to the Nintendo DS. The MessagePad series was first released in 1993 and discontinued in 1997.

The successor to the MessagePad is the iPad, which was released in 2010; a similar stylus did not appear until the Apple Pencil was released for the iPad Pro in 2015.
