Steampunked iPods

[mirrorshard]

Of all the things that could possibly be steampunkéd, an iPod (or iPhone, iPad, iWhatever) is either the least appropriate ever or the most appropriate ever.

The only meaningful steampunk iPhone would be an intricate pocket novelty of gears and mechanical kinotropy that played music and movies on demand - and it still wouldn't be an iPhone, just an iPod.

It would be amusing to devise a rendering mask or texture that played movies as if represented by a simplified repertoire of moving shapes that might be provided by an analogue system of steam-driven gears: that would be the converse of a 'steampunk' iPhone, and rather fun.
