Thought this was pretty well done.

(I searched the forums but could not find anything, apologies if this has already been posted)

That's actually kind of neat.. I've seen the different models on their own, but never all side-by-side like that.

Very nice. Its missing a few models (like the Quadra 605, 610, iMac G5 iSight, many older CRT displays) but neat nonetheless.

In regards to the iMac G5 iSight not being there, I think the chart only includes major revisions (ala Unibody MB/MBP)

I can see that its qualified at the top by saying not everything is there and its a "form factor and industrial design" time line. Nicely done.

That is very cool! Is it just me or did the iPods go from "1st to 3rd" Generation? :confused:

The 1st and 2nd gen iPods are almost identical. The only major differences is the firewire port had a cover placed on it, and that it was finally Windows compatible.

Here's another Apple history post I came across on Digg last week

A lot of photos but well worth a look through when you have 10 minutes spare.
