Gee, that could be used to mislead people into buying it instead of the iMac that came out shortly before the first iPaq. Or the Mac OS that has been copied by pretty much every other OS.[/rant]

Wah.

Innovative, cool ideas and designs are Apple's bread and butter. If they can't even do that right, then they should be called out for it. You KNOW they're going to tout this thing as their cool new idea (they already have on the website), but it's not warranted.

And I wasn't just getting at them for copying ideas. The design itself is much worse than their previous design, much clunkier and less smooth, in my opinion.

It's like the Nintendo mentality. You expect great things because you've been getting them for so long. Then when a product comes out that is perfectly great on it's own, but doesn't live up to Nintendo's standards, people get mad.

I ask you, what exactly is so great about this redesign? Why change it from the old one to this?
