I read the following on News.com:

“If imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, Apple Computer’s industrial designers should get an ego boost tomorrow when Palm Computing introduces a translucent PalmPilot handheld“

At first, I was like, “Those look pretty cool,” then I started thinking…Apple is only the most recent company to make a product with a translucent case/cover. Motorola’s been making pagers like that for years, Tomagotchi made their little toys like that, and Swatch made watches like that way back in the 80’s. It just makes me wonder where News.com’s loyalties lie… 🙂
