A Brief History of Ugly: Apple in the Last 10 Years

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 6th Sep 2007 23:11 UTC

"In horror honor of yesterday's announcement of the newly-designed third-generation iPod nano, we here at Infinite Loop have taken some time to look back at the last 10 years of Apple product design in order to get some perspective on just how hideous the new Apple audio player is (to some of us). This list isn't to say that some of these Apple monstrosities don't have a special place in our heart, though."

The sad thing is, all they would have to do to make it look decent - is put the scroll wheel to right of the screen.

And immediately make it unusable for all left handed people ? Symmetric designs work best to avoid problems with 'handedness'

I should have explained what I meant better O:-). More or less it should be long and skinny and not short and wide. The only time the controls have to be, to the left(or right), is when watching a video or looking at photos. And you could always allow the users to change the orientation, like the Creative V+ players do.
