     This is a MessagePad 100, the device that Apple shipped too early, and revisited with iPhone a decade later.

     It was widely ridiculed because you wrote on it with handwriting, but it didn't interpret what you wanted from what you wrote and how you wrote it, you had to teach yourself how to write what it wanted to interpret.

     Looking at AI today... Ah, you can write the punchline for yourselves.
