OK. Brainstorming a bit about the future of the iPod...

Here is an idea. How about adding Bluetooth (or wireless Firewire, if such exists) to give you the option to allow "other iPods" to listen to what you are listening to. That is, someone with a similarly equipped Bluetooth iPod could use a "rendezvous-like" interface to connect to a stream that is playing on someone else's iPod in the vicinity (provided that iPod is "broadcasting").

Sort of like a wireless personal portable radio station in your pocket.

I'd think it would go over well where the young hang out...

Kevin: I think they should go to a separate product line for that

Cheap DLP projector, integrated with wireless movie/entertainment server. Move projector wherever you want in your home or office.

Everyone else if getting into everything-it-is for handheld products but always banging up against the same problems - poor battery life, increased complexity, compromised experience, and too expensive. We've had handheld LCD tvs for years - they still don't sell much.

Watch movies on the plane on your laptop. Soon the airlines will have an LCD in every seat with a selection of films.
