We hear a lot about the iWatch and other smartwatches these days. But the idea behind these wearable devices is nothing new. Hartmut Esslinger’s Keep It Simple: The Early Design Years of Apple has images of early prototypes Apple was working on decades ago.

That doesn’t look too brilliant for this era, but it was quite an idea in the ’80s. You can buy the book here.
