I predicted the iPad five years ago

I predicted the iPad five years ago

So I was looking up something I'd posted a few years back and stumbled upon this gem.

[I have no doubt we will eventually see an Apple tablet (aka iPad) but I think it will grow from the iPod, rather than evolve from their notebooks; mobile devices that offer more computing rather than computers that offer more mobility.] (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2006/01/intel-inside-macs.html)

That was posted in 2006, five years ago to this day, four years before Apple announced the iPad. Pretty amazing, right? Sure, Wired coined the name "iPad" (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/wired_predicted_the_ipad11_years_ago_picture.php) even earlier, but not only did I call it a tablet, I also predicted it would "grow from the iPod" and not be a Mac turned into a tablet. Keep in mind, the iPhone did not debut until the following year. I called name, form factor and product direction before I'd even seen the "little slate" iPhone.

And lest anyone suspects this is a hoax, not only are you welcome to do whatever digital analysis you can find, but I invite you to analyze my handwriting as well. Maybe I can fake metadata or feed false into to Google, but can I fake five and a half years of handwriting style evolution too? Sounds less likely than me accurately predicting the iPpt ad five years ago. The line to worship your new prophet forms on the right.
