iPad spotted ... in 2006

Check out this screen shot from the Pixar short "Lifted" from 2006. Doesn't that look remarkably like an iPad?



Pixar is well known for putting Easter Eggs, or hidden things, in its movies and shorts, including characters from movies it hasn't yet released. Only upon watching the films later do you actually realize "hey! That was Nemo in Boo's room!"

I don't think the form factor for the iPhone had been decided yet in 2006, much less the iPad, but wouldn't it be funny if it had and Pixar had slipped this out in plain sight four years ago without anyone noticing until now? I bet John Lasseter and Steve Jobs had a huge laugh over that one!
