Re-Imagining Apple
FirienFirien writes "Business 2.0 has put up a selection of ideas from Pentagram Design, featuring some interesting rumoured ipod innovations, as well as a look at what may be next for Apple. From the article: 'The project was led by Robert Brunner, who was Apple's chief designer from 1989 to 1996, and who oversaw the design of the PowerBook line, among many other hit products.'"
Steve Job's sexy face from a continuously playback of his latest keynote address!
This won't happen for a while. They basically have a monopoly on the iPods. There are some alternatives, but those are only available in Japan. So Apple's iPod will continue to stay at a high price as long as there is little competition.

but damn it would be the same size as a chiclet and only cost $75...

I read slashdot for the sigs...
To paraphrase a wise man, Steve Jobs, Why is it that the people who run the magazine companies just don't get it?

Did he happen to have anything to do with that awful orange toiletseat Powerbook? In retrospect, it is hard to imagine an uglier computer that anyone has ever built (all casemods aside!).
He must be a design genius- 89-96 were such wonderful years for Apple!
Pentagram, Apple... they really do like the "Devil's advocate" trappings over in Cupertino.

Wow!
Ipicture 4 of 5, it looks like the aged Steve Jobs is wearing a Science Division Starfleet uniform from Star Trek IV?
Ooh, this is gonna be GREAT!

You've heard it here first and the best thing is, Apple can't even sue me into oblivion as I'm posting anonymous.
Apple using pentagram design -- the sign of the devil.
OSX built on BSD, whose mascot is --- the devil (or at least a daemon)
Use MS -- live in hell Use Apple -- go to hell I'll stick with my little penguin.
Let me try this and see if it really works -- Hey MODS Not a Troll!!!

As a Performa 636CD owner, I must take exception to that! Could a computer that made me a plaintiff in three separate class-action suits be poorly designed?
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
They entirely lack the current Apple design features of absolute minimalism.
You mean they don't look like boring bars of Ivory soap?
I for one appreciated the attention to detail given by Apple when they sharpened all of the edges of the metal casing inside my Powermac 6100 to razor sharpness. Everyone knows that NuBus cards work better when they're covered in human blood.
Don't blame me; I'm never given mod points.
Apple sues Business 2.0 for spreading rumours about Apple products.
Yeah, the PodWatch was about the only one I found interesting though.

There's a real opportunity out there for somebody to create a mock ad for the "iPhone shuffle." It's just got one button on it: "call."
Tagline: "Life is random."
"I've never had a living, breathing music executive come to Apple."
Kinda makes ya wonder what's hidden in that closet in the corner of Steve's office, doesn't it?

Guy: "You're cute, can I get your number?" Girl: "Sure, got a cell phone?" Guy: "Better, an iPhone!" Girl: "My number is 596-6" Guy: "Woaaaah, hold on there missy....This is the latest and greatest new technology. You don't just start punching keys for the number, that so 2002! I'll just boot up my laptop so I can sync to my cell phone so I can add a new contact with your details. Girl: "Whatever. Later g44k!" Now, if they had voice-recognition for adding contacts along with dialing, that might be ok. But the cell phone background noice filtering in general does not seem to be where it is needed to have this work well...yet.
That's okay, I only listen to AM radio anyhow.
<rant>So why isn't there an AM tuner in iPods?!?!?!! I'm not going to ever buy one until they include an AM tuner!!!!1!!1!!@@!!one!!!</rant>

Proof that MS is the Devil, if you were ever in any doubt.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
The problem is that you also just described MICHAEL JACKSON.

The only thing I can figure is that you have one of Sony's 1973 model "Mavica" 0.3 kilopixel digital cameras that stores the pictures on an 8-track tape you insert in the side of the camera.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
