Let's Design the Next iPod

[Shire Le Buff]

Some features I'd like it to have:

-A usb port for playing files off a usb key.
-Go back to the more rounded shape of earlier models so its more comfortable in a pocket.
-Split screen so I can watch a video while listening to music and seeing the data on that.

Put the clickwheel back. I love my Sansa for not going all touchsensitive because it doesn't matter if my hand isn't bone dry or my thumb's sliding over too much space or I have gloves on.

Add support for more file formats.

Give me a battery indicator with a Time Remaining function.

I dunno if they've fixed this or not, but my last iPod was a first gen Mini, and it couldn't play files and charge over USB at the same time (It'd only charge in disk access mode) this is pretty retarded. The PSP seems to do the same thing, so I suppose it could be a hardware limitation.

-Add a Camera, they're in everything now so why not?
-Give it access to AM FM radio

A better more customizable operating system, and more ways to sort your music in lists (aside from just one way alphabetical).

Considering my iPod is old as fuck and I'm not spoiled by nice things, I'd like a battery that lasted longer than 3 hours. The USB idea is great. I also thing a song trading feature like the Zune would be cool, but more people actually have iPods so this feature will be much cooler.
