I am one of those few who have been listening to your podcast for longer than my children have been alive. I still have fond memories of trying to sync it to my iPod. Part of me kind of hoped that you would do the same thing that Chris Breen did around episode 500 and bring Cyrus back to do the intro. It was still nice to hear his voice.

I wanted to comment on the aspect ratio of the Duo’s outer and inner screens – both about 1.4 : 1. As an ex-graphic designer, this ratio (known as the silver ratio, 1 to the square root of 2) is very well known to me. That is because in the UK and Europe all our paper sizes are based on this ratio.
A4 is 297 x 210mm which when folded exactly in half results in A5, which has the same ratio. This continues with smaller sizes of A6, etc. Going the other way, A3 is double A4, etc, until you get to A0, which has a surface area of 1 metre squared. Neat eh?
The iPhone Duo therefore is like an A5 sheet of paper, folded in half when closed, and is something that will have been very familiar with Molly Anderson who (like Jony Ive) is from the UK.
