Good design: The ten commandments of Dieter Rams

Here's a piece of trivia: The original iPhone calculator was designed to mimic Ram's designs (as seen part way down the linked page).

I recommend this website from Bill Moggridge (IDEO). It's based on a book + DVD but they provide a chapter (of the week) for download and the interviews.

Viewing good design, I get the same shiver that I do when I see a beautiful woman.

Those calculators are devastating.

"Devastating?" Why would you say that in particular? They look superbly logical but dated to me. I'm more instantly attracted to the speakers and radio, for instance.

I'm guessing you've got more design experience than I do, so care to explain what it is you see when you look at those calculators? I'd love to know.
