Pattern Recognition

Time to get out the ol’ way back machine…

Remember the original iMac. Sure you do… those bulbous, orbular, transparent, all-in-one Macs that we laugh at when we see a poor soul who’s forced to use one nowadays. No? They came in fruit flavors. Ok… now you know exactly what I’m talking about. Quite a difference compared to the sleek white iMacs of today. Well, Apple killed off that fruit flavor color scheme after a while. And personally, I think it was a good design choice. While the marketing campaign at the time was brilliant, I always thought the product looked a tad foolish in real life.

Today, another of Apple’s multi-colored products goes to the fruit flavored scrap yard. The iPod mini is dead. Long live the iPod nano!

This baby iPod is… well, just that; a baby iPod. It looks as though the regular iPod has been squished in all directions (including file capacity), and has left a short and skinny iPod mutant.

It’s actually kind of cute. And I want one… just to cuddle with.

  1. Ok Im going to girl out for a minute. There was only one thing holding me back from owning an ipod and it sounds ridiculous but I wanted a black one without paying extra money to remember the pain of Bono or anything off the “new album.” Finally my dream has been recognized.
