This patent seems to be the inspiration for the toshiba patent of the same year. It seems to work more or less the same and also calls it a tablet device. What's interesting is the fact that it could be used as a game controler. Mirad1000 (talk) 20:54, 12 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

The choice of using the the article of the Toyota Prius in the photo seems like it could be an advertisement, doesn't it? I think the contents of the tablets in the photo should be changed to something more neutral. Rozchwierutany (talk) 20:05, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
