iPod iPod 5G Wishes/hopes

Mine are for a wireless dock, color screen, removable battery, better "default" earbuds, and a built in speaker. Thats right, a built in speaker. I am not talking uber good quality, nothing to compete with bose or the other portable speakers, just something for when you are hanging with a friend, or group of friends, you can share your tunes. I would also like to see a move to the mini form factor. IMHO it is easier to handle, looks better, and seems to have a better build quality. I would also like to a rejoining of the iPod line. There are too many variations, too many design types. There is the possibility at some point if this trend continues that consumers could become confused at the differences. One form factor, screen, capabilities. Only difference is the capacity engraving on the back.

I never thought about a portable iTMS. That would be great. Have integrated wifi in the iPod and give it the same software that is going into iTunes enabled phones (if they allow for purchases away from a computer). I also agree with the interface. Going back to the iTunes enabled phones, they will probably share the same interface, so there is no confusion going from one device to another. I forgot about the clicker speaker, so i guess my idea wouldn't be that much work, i would just like a cool little speaker grill on the top, one that could be covered though. That would be the first thing people would complain about... stuff getting into their iPod via the speaker. A removable battery with better life to me is a must. Apple has to just do a better job than a removable backside. It would just benefit everyone. No more lawsuites when they have to be replaced for nearly the cost of an iPod, no more people ruining iPods by changing them at home or putting in faulty ones. I actually will not get another iPod till they have a removable battery. I have a first generation mini and its life is down to about four hours.
