Is Apple subconsciously going retro?

While searching in Google Images, this picture caught my eye, but the link it leads to is currently offline. Notice how the iPod strangely resembles the 1980’s mouse. Does this mean that in 20 years time our .whatever player will look like a Mighty Mouse with a screen? Will the next iPod HiFi look like an ImageWriter?
Shocking isn’t it?
And you were looking on Google images for?
I googled ‘Apple Mouse 1984′
This is the link:

No, no it doesn’t.
Come to think of it, it would be really cool having a wireless mouse that looks like the iPod suffle. Then you’d charge it by sticking the whole thing into your USB port.
I can really see it catching on.
