Hi folks
Just for fun - doing a survey to see where this technology might be going:
For me I'd love to see simple navigations like a DVD or UMD on future Ipods and a way to transfer that info to a disc after youve purchase it.
Could you imagine how much money a blockbuster film would bring if it were released in theaters and on Ipods in the same day?

I just read an article that said Apple is thinking about releasing a wide screen iPod at the end of the year.

Radio...Simple I know but all I'd like to see is an FM Radio built in (DAB would be nicer though). Until then think I'm going to buy myself an iRiver mp3 player.

AM/FM/Weather add on
Analong TV tuner
Digital TV tuner
all with recording feature to the HDD
Touchscreen with wi-fi ability would be nice as well.Day Dreamin' about John Waters...again.

Actually, I'm pretty happy with my iPod (5G "video"). I convert all of my vid's to H264 and connect my iPod to my TV. I also have an iPod connector in my Scion (came standard) and can hold enough music to drive across Texas without repeating a song. (Probably enough room for a cross-country drive without repeating a song, eh?)
Only thing that might be a nice addition would be a higher-resolution option for H264. Let me have 640x480 (and not top out at 320x240). But I'm not complaining. -
Wi Fi would be decent. It would be great to be able to network to you IPOD to upload your tunes rather than connect it via cable. This would be great for streaming music to a PC.
A working text editor.
Ipod to Ipod IM capability. -
Bluetooth to send the songs to another pod. Like on phones.
Jagabo, please do not reply to this post. Thank you. -

DAB wont be on a portable for a while .. the chips that run it are far too power draining. FM requires about 1/10th of the power. ALso the more "powerful" the codec used in compression the more power is needed by a chip on decompression (h264) ergo battery life suffers. Wi-fi would be good , as would a virtual keyboard. DVb-t maybe even DVB-h. scratch free self repairing screen. GPS would be a laugh and an emergency beacon. A nice torch/reading light. replacement Car Keys for Keyless cars. A serrated frictional edge for striking matches. A drugs testing probe. A fold out section with a screwdriver , scissors, Horse shoe pick pliers... a laser etching design service for the titanium case
Corned beef is now made to a higher standard than at any time in history.
The electronic components of the power part adopted a lot of Rubycons. -

Personally, I'm just boggling at the popularity of the iPod video players, given their relative immaturity compared to all the other PMPs / PVPs out there (like Archos, iRiver...)
-
Real Media,WMV, OGM, MKV, OGG, Nero Digital Audio, Nero Digitsl Video support. Those added and the iPOD will beat them all. Oh and the ability to play dual audio and subtitles.

Me I personally love my new IRIVER T30 1gb model. Does everything I need and even has a voice recorder and line in recording.Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw? -
Don't consider this as a troll, as I own a 40GB 4G and two Shuffles..
Umm.. what I'd like to see is the addition of.. bass. Even with good headphones the iPod is piss weak. Compare the 'oomph' of the iPod's sound with say.. an iRiver, even long out of production models. Much more kick.
I don't know how anyone can put up with the default headphones. So, get the sound right before adding anything more exotic. -

The closest I've gotten is putting linux on my 4G Nano (but then that also includes Doom and other bells and whistles that leaves the original OS in the crapper). -
I'd like to see it go away. It's too small and too expensive. My eyes can't focus on the flippin' thing. Take it away.....

I have an iPod Nano, and it does everything I need. I don't want it to do anything else.
If you ask me what I want: I want other music players, as many as possible, to support the AAC/MP4/M4A format. I don't want to be stuck with the iPod, no matter how much I like it, so I'd like to see AAC becoming as popular as MP3.
As far as Apple is concerned, iPod did its job, and it did well: it sold well. As far as I am concerned, the same iPod does its job: it plays music well, and it's so popular that it significantly contributes to the acceptance of AAC as a successor of MP3. This is what I would like to see happening.
I'm tired of sticking to the inferior MP3 format just because there is no agreement who's the "better" successor. AAC is both high-quality and commercially-viable. (Sorry, fans of Microsoft) WMA is commercially viable, but regular WMA is inferior to AAC, and WMAPro, which is as good as AAC, isn't supported by almost any device. (Sorry, fans of Ogg) Vorbis is as good as AAC, but it's not commercially viable (no support for DRM.....) which is why most major music player manufacturers do NOT to support it.
Among all music formats, AAC has real chances to succeed. I was glad to see AAC supported by Sony's latest players, and I'd like to see the same AAC support in Creative. I am still stuck with MP3, because I need to be sure that my music plays on any decent music player, and AAC is still not the king. Thanks to iPod, AAC is supported on 70% (or whatever) of the music players ... because iPod is 70% (or whatever) of the music players.
Long story short, I am looking forward to seeing a good and future-proof successor of MP3. iPod did its job from this point of view by pushing AAC. Other than that, it's a damn good music player, and I don't need anything else from it.Cosmin -
Cool Topic,
I am diggin' my 5G 60 gig iPod, the videos I do with Nero Digital look great on a regular CRT TV, I haven't burned a DVD in months! It will output to TV in widescreen anyway so I don't see what all the whining is about even if they do release a widescreen version, I would guess that most users who are into the video side of things use TV out a majority of the time anyway.
My personal wish list would include AVI (DivX)playback, Full D1 resolution AVC playback, FM/TV Tuner, Better chapter seeking and replaceable batteries. Just my $.02My Site: http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html

I've noticed that the larger resolutions really improve picture quality as long as you use a bitrate around 1000 kbps.My Site: http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html
