Apple files patent for clunky-looking multi-touch device (published a month ago)

You know what is interesting about this tablet from an Apple patent application published last month (besides the fact it looks like it is from 2003 – or the next gen iPod classic)?   Give up?  Head south for the answer…

One of the patent applicants for Apple is a one Dr. Carlin Vieri.  He’s no longer with Apple (hel left just over a year ago).  He happens to be the VP of Engineering for Pixel Qi right now.  Just in case you didn’t think there was enough of a connection already.
