Looking quite a lot better than the thrown-together mockup David Sieger used to illustrate his theory of an upcoming iPod Touch-based MacBook tablet, possibly reviving the Newton name, this fan-made creation manages to capture the current state of Apple design.  They've even developed the idea of an iMac style docking station into which an Apple sub-device would slot so as ... continued »
