Apple's newish iPad 2 commercial is a piece of sheer poetry. Could one of you talented people do a wallpaper with the script on it?
Here it is:
This is what we believe.
Technology alone is not enough. Faster, thinner, lighter... Those are all good things. But when technology gets out of the way, everything becomes more delightful. Even magical. That's when you leap forward.
That'd be beautiful, right?

I'm picturing the script in a classy, yet legible, cursive. A small, understated Apple logo and... Maybe nothing else. Any takers?

Did you have a background pattern/color/image in mind? What aspect ratio?

Beggars can't be choosers, but 1680x1050 would be alright. A 1024x1024 for iPad would be great, as well.
As for the background pattern and/or color, that's where I was hoping someone with an artistic eye could come in. I'm thinking muted and classy... Something that complements the hardware. No garish colors, neons or pastels. I'm thinking blacks and whites, beiges, muted greys maybe? Again, I'm not the artist.

If you like this, PM me your email address so I can email the full PNG that doesn't look so crappy.

Yes, please. It will be interesting to see what others come up with.
cgc, I love that background, but the end of your text got cut off... Just the word "forward," actually. Not so sure of that font either. Maybe the simpler fonts work better than the ornate ones, now that I see them side-by-side.
imitchellg5, that looks good, too. Love the simplicity of it. Maybe a grey tone would take the edge off the bright black and white.
Just thinking out loud... Nice work guys. And thanks for playing.

Yeah, I didn't want to spend much time on it but I'll fix it a bit this weekend. I didn't think the font was too ornate but will change it to something easier on the eyes.

It's not the image I had in my head, but close.

This styled after their "Here's to the crazy ones" wall in Cupertino. It's also, as far as I can tell, more or less grammatically correct.

This looks very nice, but the apostrophe could do with being a bit curlier.
