Original Ipad Prototype Screen Was Around 13 Inches Diagonally The Body Was Almost An Inch Thick Gallery

Buzzfeed got its mitts (don’t ask, just look) on more of those “original iPad” pictures discovered today. These are actually compared to a modern day iPad in size. And, oh my— the original prototype iPads are big. They look equivalent to a 13-inch MacBook display or thereabouts. Moreover, they look almost an inch thick.

Is it just me…or does the idea of a (albeit thinner) 13-inch iPad suddenly sound tantalizing?
