5 Apple products that never made it
The AppleGazette has compiled a list of 5 Apple products that were prototyped but never made it into mass production. I'm sure the basement at Cupertino is just filled to the gills with prototype iPhones and Mac Tablets that were never meant to be.The five prototypes highlighted are the Apple PowerBop, Apple Paladin, W.A.L.T, Apple Videophone PDA, and Apple PenLite (pictured to the right). More info about all of these prototypes, and more, can be found at the Apple Museum.

The Apple PenLite was never actually a real product for testing or prototyping ... that picture was simply a Duo with the screen deteched and turned over. Although the Duo was the most prototyped of any Apple computer ... it was most of the guts of the Paladin.

The Penlite *was* prototyped, I first learned about it because I knew someone who had one (not sure how) back in 1994-5 or so. I only learned there was a special name (Penlite) for it today, though.
