Wasn't Dave Bowman receiving well wishes from his family on his Ipad while on his way to Jupiter? |

I think Riker and Data used it on Star Trek - The Next Generation, too. |

No, that was an HP slate, which is still in development.

Nope again. Data would use something that runs Android. |

For Clarke and Kubric to be off by only ten years out of a forty-year prediction with this degree of specificity is pretty darned good in my book (pun indended). And I dare you to find a significant difference between a flip-phone in walkie-talkie mode Gene Roddenberry's "communicator" in the original Star Trek ... |

I have an issue of popular Mechanics showing predictions from the preceding 50 years. One of them shows a woman shopping from home on a display screen that looks remarkably like a computer showing a web site. The prediction next to it didn't come true, however. It showed a housewife hosing off her living room furniture. |

I'll bet that all this time you thought the Motorola logo was just a stylized letter "M".
