One thing we weren’t expecting to see

announcement really. Steve Jobs aside,

supposedly retaining Ive’s services out of his new design agency,
I’m secretly hoping that Apple brings in some fresh young blood
to really give us something new and exciting again.

device that you remember, just a lot more powerful now. Lots of
you seem to be fans of the touch, but do you really need one now?
