Apple had some very strange ideas back in the early days. These are mostly only concepts afterall. Most of the parts probably don't even work. I will say I'm suspicious of some of the DATES. The phone looks a lot like part of the Knowledge Navigator project that was underway during the John Sculley (1985-1991ish) era.
Just because the concept contained a 'touch screen' doesn't mean the touch screen actually worked, or that it was even in the ballpark of a production idea.
"Blocked, buryed, and reported." Aside from a clear mastery of s**tty English, is your brain capable of understanding digg is largely a tech news site? This find is perfectly acceptable. I know, you hate Apple. We'll put it on your headstone. What a badge of honor. Do you volunteer at Burger King?

You are making an assumption based on cost? That's rich. Do some research before you start with the "guessing". Touch screens were invented in the early 70's. <a class="user" href="http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bltouch.htm">http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bltouch.htm</a> You're not exactly adding any credibility to your assumption A. People who weren't even alive in the 80's really shouldn't assume any authority to comment on them.

The Victor 9000 had a touchscreen, too. But again, it was a CRT.

Shouldn't that be "Apple Phone ][c" or such.....
