[NTLK] Bic & MessageSlate

I've been staring at Bic & MessageSlate pictures for about half an hour
now and ignoring some likely inaccurate information about which side is
which on the Bic photos (based on shaping), these two devices look
identical except some curving on the Bic's left side. All talk of the
MessageSlate seems to indicate it was a mock-up design at the end of the
Newton legacy, but the Bic was a much earlier design. Are people
confusing these two? Is the MessageSlate a production-quality photo of
the Bic? What's actually known about this/these device(s)?

It would be interesting to know the Bic's resolution.
