Sweet – the awesome Proview iPAD. Proview producing about 20K of Internet Personal Access Device (iPAD) from 1998 to 2009 according WSJ.

You are absolutely right if you thought the sucker look familiar. I don’t use Apple products in 1998 but I remember watching the introduction of iMac and Steve mention “The excitement of the internet. The simplicity of Macintosh”

Probably the birth of the entire line of “iDevices” in Apple Inc. synonymous all thing Internet with the “I”

I’m just guessing Proview Technology got inspired and iPAD was so right name of their new iMac 3G lookalike at that time.

What do you learn about doing business in China? Even a super concreted document can be pronounced dead.

Zeenews India reported the possible trademark claims for other famous iDevices by Chinese and may well gives Apple more headache doing business in China. Thanks to Proview – these people are inspired to start claiming from Apple for trademark infringement.
