You know you are a apple dork when....

Looks like someone has way to much time on their hands. But, I'm sure there's quite a bit of $$$ in it from the fanboys.

there was another thread about this about a months ago ... come on MR....

I don't know if it's the same company making these coasters, but there was a similar set of coasters in Wired Magazine and on Gizmodo about nine months ago. It might be a different company, or it might be the same. I wonder if they had to get official licensing permission from Apple.

If only the corners were rounded...

Yeah, they dropped the ball on that.

These just need...

Now someone just needs to make a glass-topped (blank) iPhone-shaped coffee table.

The stocks icon should say Jul, not July!

These are really cool, but not at $60. If they halved the price, they'd sell four times as many!

I got my set a couple of weeks ago. They are great! Really good quality. Took a while to deliver to UK though.

I think you should scan each one individually then upload them for the rest of us who refuses to pay $60 for a set of coasters!!!!! we prefer the ol' DIY method

MDF is not plywood. It is just MDF.

Don't set your cup on the safari one. I hear it's rather unstable.

+1!

For $75 US (with shipping) they really should have done it right and rounded the corners. And why leave out any standard icons?

Idea = A+
Execution = B-
Pricing = D-

How about an application that puts these images (full screen) on my iPhone so I can use it as a coaster?

 

[fleshman03]

Could I buy just the music one for $5??

We'll call it the coster shuffle.

Two for $12.50? Nano!

I really want these! I wouldn't even use them as coasters - i'd make some funky-modern-show-offy wall arrangement out of them!haha

This is pretty near but for $60 they can keep it to themselves.

You can currently buy a Microsoft Surface developer's table for $15K with SDK included.

Just program in an iPhone-looking UI...

These coasters are just too cool..... I wouldn't use them as coasters but as decorative elements in my all-Mac household. Christmas gift to myself, here I come!

I think they were created before the App Store was available to us.

Unless sold directly by Apple, I can't see how these things are legal. Apple would not license its graphics like this for someone else. Sounds like the product of another Psystar-minded kid wanting to test the limits of copyright infringement.

Well just look at it this way. If and when Steve Jobs pulls the plug on these, they should be considered a collectors item. The value of them should go up at least for the mac fans. That said I might just get me a set. i can see it now. Hubby rolling his eyes... and shaking his head.

 

[Spoofy]

I'm not a fan boy in any sense of the phrase but I'd probably buy these if it wasnt for the square corners...

it just irks me.

so close to perfect yet so far...
