Here's something for the mac junkies. Just because there hasn't been a mac-related post in awhile.

At 5:27 PM, Arlo said...: The vPod is closest to something Apple might produce. MIGHT.

The watch is huge.

Why an iPod all of a sudden with a smaller screen? Wouldn't screens be going bigger? And what's with all the extra crap on the sides? Too complicated for Apple.

The iHome is a conceptual mess, far too complicated.

And the phone is enormous.

Apple doesn't deliver items that meet your expectations and just make them pretty. Apple consistently exceeds expectations by delivering extremely useful items that are extremely simple. The iPod was easy to learn. The mouse has one button. The iMac takes 5 minutes from opening the box to turning on. This is what Apple does, and they wouldn't waste their time on any of this shit.

That's not to say that Robert Brunner, the dude behind these mock-ups, isn't a talented designer. It may have been him that oversaw putting the keyboard behind the trackball (scroll to the bottom). But he's no Jonathan Ive.
At 7:05 PM, Kelly said...: Agreed, but sometimes stuff on a personal Wish List is fun to ponder. Dude? Dude.
At 9:43 AM, Arlo said...: True. My quivering, puckered anus is still waiting for Apple to release the iBrator. It uses Bluetooth to wireless interact with porn sites.
