Personally, I tried but I couldn't make it without a "slip-streamed" copy of XP (XP with SP 2 on the same CD)...

I think the complentary product will include a lot more features than just a wide/touch screen.
More PDA-type functionality and Bluetooth support is a given in this scenario - pricing the 6G comfortably above the 5G.
The 5G would probably be tweaked at the same time to increase capacity.
If you want a big capacity music player with basic video ability, go for the 5G - if you want music, full screen video, meatier PDA functionality and extras such as Bluetooth, plump for the 6G.
Then, the line up of iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod and iPod <whatever> caters to an extremely wide range of potential customers...

Apple can build not THE ULTIMATE AND UNVERSAL COMPUTER:
A Mactel that can boot as Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. Even better: boot as Mac OS X and then open Linux and Windows as separate windows to copy/paste from them.
We need them for our University computing rooms!

I guess... Still, then it would be an iPDA, not an iPod, really. And would not have to be as small...maybe even having a cover of some sort. Yuck.
5G is looking quite attractive...but then, I can wait 6 months, no problem.
Two wedding proposals with the opening of the new Fifth Avenue Apple Store!
The 0500 hrs time lapse movie shows a gent holding up three pages from a sketchpad in sequence, which say: Uschi Lang / I love you / Will you marry me?
Ifoapplestore.com also reports that the guy at #8 in the queue also proposed to his girlfriend yesterday - and she said YES.
Edit: Sorry, wrong thread. Re-posting to Fifth Avenue thread.

Judging by their current design successes, if any one can integrate a cover into an iPod well, Apple can.
For example, I can see a hard cover that protects the full screen which has a small LCD on the outside and also a traditional touchpad interface. So when the 6G is closed, it looks very similar to a traditional iPod.
The hard cover can be designed so that when you open it, it can pivot/spin back around on itself so that the touchpad is useable for the wide screen as well.

"Oh, I need an address for my iPhone, let me pause HL:2 and cube over... okay, here it is... While I'm at it, I think I'll bluetooth sync it to my iPad (fullscreen iPod)... done... cubes back to windows, continues playing HL:2."
The ultimate dream, my friends.
That would be sweet.

OmniGraffle and Concept Draw are nice if someone sends you a drawing as a Visio XML file. But when most of the Visio world does not save in this format but as the proprietary vsd format, so you either have have someone re-save it and send it out (not always possible) or find a Windows PC with Visio to convert it. The programs are pretty good, but not completely cross-platform compatible.
