An eBay auction has resurfaced a very rare prototype from Apple's earlier history. The WALT (Wizzy Active Lifestyle Telephone), unveiled at Macworld Boston in 1993 but never shipped, was to have been a feature boost to a traditional landline phone, in this case BellSouth. It had a stylus-driven touchscreen and ran a heavily modified System 6 with Hypercard replacing the Finder to supply not just basics like contacts but banking, faxing, and a message pad.
