the crunchpad went on to be released as the joojoo, which did have the screen flush. IIRC there was only a single prototype we built out of the later 4-5 where that wasn't the case.
and you can play the 'but its just a..' game all the way back to vacuum tubes with anything. that's what innovation is.
what I am arguing against is the Apple expert claim about the design being a complete leap and unique and not something that would be reproduced without knowing the ipad. I can argue against that because we did just that (as did others).
