The beauty of personal "top 5's" like this is how much of the person creating list shows through in their choices. That being said, whilst I agree with you on the G4 as the top Apple design, I would not have been able to omit the "white ice" iBook, or the Titanium Powerbook G4. Both, in my opinion, were the most innovative notebook designs ever. The beautiful Macbook is a variation on the iBook's design, while most of the PC community is still trying to come up with a notebook as good-looking or functional as the TiBook. Great list, truly.

The iPod has remained virtually the same in design and layout since it's creation. Yes the click wheel has evolved, but it has remained essentially the same...color screens have been added, video has been added...etc...but the design remains very similar to the original... Not so with the iMac. The iMacs vary greatly from model to model...so it's not the same thing. Luke -

You gave the #1 spot to the iMac G4, not the "iMac". The list is therefore inconsistent and ultimately useless I’m glad the iMac G4 won, but giving the number 3 spot to the “iPod” instead of a particular generation or model (mini, shuffle, nano, iPod 5G, etc) seems silly.
