You mean the other way around right?

EDIT:
I remember this computer since from a magazine back in 1999.

To me, that's complete and utter theft of the original iMac G3.

Well, it's not like Apple doesn't err, "pay homage" to certain pieces of industrial design by Braun.

By the way, by pointing out the similarities of these designs to the ones that Dieter Ram made at Braun during the 70's, remember that many of these Braun products sit in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York. They're industrial design icons.

If Jonathan Ive ripped off, at least he ripped off the from the best.

God I love Braun...
Hard to say if they've stolen the designs or been inspired by them..

Not stolen, that is what we in the design business call research.

Always interesting to see some Apple knockoffs, so many of them in the bargain shop catalogues these days.

Wouldn't mind checking out that Shuffle knockoff, with the LCD display. Has 2gb memory, rechargeable battery and FM transmitter. Not to say the quality is better, but it sure would make for an interesting review.

I'm a designer. I prefer the term, "inspired by".

OMG, I received an email (through a friend) from one Mr Bruce (straight outta Shenzhen) who was 'looking to make a business cooperate' with me. That hiPhone was looking pretty tempting...
