Technologizer just unboxed their Atari CX77 touch tablet, one of the earliest consumer grade touchpads ever released.

I used to have this thing and I loved it. I remember trying to draw a naked woman on my 800XL – in 8-bit color, no less – using Atari Paint (??). I can only imagine why my parents paid $89.95 for this thing back in the day – I seem to remember it was on sale. Truly amazing tech.
