I was surprised to find myself agreeing with the point of view ascribed to Ive.
My takeaway though is that the device itself and how it should look/work is not obvious, and that is a bad thing.
For a device like the iPhone, iPod a few people kicking around ideas over sushi could very quickly (and with wild enthusiasm, no doubt) come to agree on the basic form, basic functionality.
If our VR-future has to be shoe-horned into existence, maybe it was not to be.
If anything, I want to see "the cyber" go away, not become more pervasive.
