Video of Apple’s W.A.L.T. in action

SonnyDickson.com has footage of a very unique Apple prototype device. There has been a lot said about Apple's development of the iPhone, and the history and inspiration behind the device - such as this notable 1983 concept of a "Telephone Mac". One of the most notable examples of this is Apple's lesser known desk phone known as the W.A.L.T. (Wizzy Active Lifestyle Telephone). The W.A.L.T., which was announced at MacWorld 1983, was never released to the public, and only a very small handful of prototypes were ever constructed for the device. One of the few known samples of this was sold on eBay for $8,000 back in 2012. It was even prototyped in both "classic Mac" color and a somewhat more "business looking" dark gray color. The device is basically a special PowerBook 100 in a unique, custom case, with a touchscreen, running a special version of System 6. Awesome to see this rare device in working order.
