Marc Weiser and his team using prototype tabs, pads and a board at Xerox PARC in 1990/91. 

Basically, iPhones and iPads. No iBoards yet, but give Apple time….

I haven’t read about these in a while, but one of the neat things I remember was that the software kind of ran in “the cloud”: You could take an app running on a pad, move it to a tab, and carry it with you, then move it onto another pad somewhere.
