Well, would you look at that. Just days after I called on Apple to re-release the iPod, it emerges that the company did indeed consider dropping a 'retro' version of the beloved gadget. One that, alas, never saw the light of day (it would fit in well with these low-fi gadgets that replace an iPhone).
Jon Stoa was a Senior Art Director at Apple from 2006-2007 – arguably during the golden years of the iPod. And while he appears to have worked primarily on the launch of the iPhone in 2007, his website also includes details of a curious special edition 'retro' iPod, designed to hark back to the company's computers of the '80s – rainbow Apple logo and all.
