My god this is old

My thoughts? Funny, as satire generally is.

Too expensive and to me, useless.
How frustratingly slow would typing just one side of A4 be!?

i lol#ed too...

er... why do we need simpler? if you cannot use a windows PC, i think you just fail in general.

ah yes its actually a joke...but the scary thing is, i believe its possible¬ that apple could well try to introduce something this backward.

I remember seeing this last year, and still makes me laugh now

They did, a click wheel on an mp3 player...

A couple of buttons is far easier to navigate!

I'll buy almost anything as long as it's shiny and made by Apple.

As funny as that spoof is - there's a sad ring of truth in the guy's quote that sums up so much of the market

Or a 4 (5 if you include pressing to click) Direction pad/stick and a couple of buttons is perfect. Just like the iRiver HD120 (i think thats what it was called).

I must say I can't wait to see the second generation Mac Book Wheel.

The click wheel on iPods, apart from being useless with gloves or when wet, was a great "innovation". I often think about going back to a classic to have that interface.

2008 was a good year.

Funny video. Made funnier by the people who actually believed it was a real product.

I know right?

Some people out there :rolleyes:

I've always found them a right pain to use, unresponsive and usually overshooting the song/album I want when using my friends iPods. I'll stick with my Creatives and Sonys with their buttons thanks! (also means you can change songs with it still in your pocket.)

No wonder the guy was so impressed he then spent 45minutes sending his friend an email. lol

Haha can't believe some people think this is real

It's a pity it isn't, as then we could laugh at all the people who fall into the "i'll buy anything shiney made by apple" category.

I lol'd when my friend, an absolute Mac fanatic almost bought this and thought it was real

Also, the stuff in the predictive sentence list reminds me of Anchorman
