Engadget replying to the article about
"How would you change the iPod with video?" FM Tuner
Voice Recorder
FM Recorder
Wifi
New games
camera
a changeable faceplate that covers the screen like the GBM
and record strait from the tv
and make it industructable or at least waterproof but keep all the moving parts but use them to charge the battery like the spinning of the hard drive charges it.
I really can't tell if this comment was sarcastic, or just completely retarded. Pay attention to the part about the moving parts (such as the hard drive) charging the battery.
Otherwise in the article, the main features that people are wanting (or finding lacking) in the latest iPod are features that have been taken out since previous versions, such as:
1. better battery life (the two main reasons iPods are so 'good' are the high storage capacity and the long battery life, i.e. carry my whole library with me and listen to it for hours on end)
2. firewire support (when did Apple deide to abandon their lifelong love affair with IEEE 1394!?)
3. wired remote
4. all the accessories they bundled for free with the 3G iPods
5. and the brushed metal casing from the iPod Minis (I didn't hear anyone complaining about their Mini scratching when they slipped it in and out of their pocket).
