* ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' used iPad-like devices back in 1987. The goal was to save on the prop budget by using replaceable painted glass "touch screens" that could be updated to suit the plot, rather than designing a new machine with buttons and dials every time one was needed.
** However, in ST:TNG and subsequent ''[[Star Trek]]'' shows, we frequently see characters' desks with PADDs scattered around on top of them as if they were sheets of paper, instead of each crewmember having one PADD that they carry with them to do their work on.
* Despite ''[[ICarlyiCarly]]'' being something of a rip-off of the 'iPod Generation', the actual tech they used is completely opposite. The "Pear" Pods are literally shaped like pears, they're very colourful, and their laptops avert the typical white Macbook colour scheme. The Pear "Pad" is a massively exaggerated version of the iPad that's about as big as most common LCD computer monitors.
* [[Andromeda]] computers are rather like this.
* The interiors of Moonbase Alpha on ''Space1999'', and the Alphans' Rudi Gernreich-designed uniforms (particularly during the first season, when they were more unisex).
