Continuing their excellent coverage of the “iSlate” saga, MacRumors has found that Apple has used the word “slate” in a prototype for another tablet-like device back in the early 1990’s. The device’s name was “MessageSlate” and was based on Newton technologies.

Although the MessageSlate never went into production, Apple had applied for a trademark for the MessageSlate name in 1993.
