Mm. I feel the same way about music, wireless, and the combustion engine. And water and oxygen.
Got a tip for us?

Is "Betty Cole" Apple's version of "Jane Doe"? Has Apple used this name as a sample before?
Maybe the real Betty Cole will use these new features for her real estate business.

The layout will need to be improved, but this will be great.
You don't need podcasts as it's own item. Just change "music" to "audio" and then video podcasts will be available under video and audio podcasts will be available under audio. This would free up a space for a proper cancel button.
As someone who uses my iPhone for business, this would be great. To be able to share a voicemail message immediately. No more trying to translate what the boss wants to an associate or trying to translate what a client wants to the boss.
This type of feature will be network and tech heavy though so I wouldn't expect it soon. If you're on AT&T with an iPhone and talking to someone on Verizon with a RZR they'll need to find some way for the iPhone to determine capability and compatibility.

haha I like how no one is touching that comment. It does look exactly like a zune! Why can't Apple be original for once? They're just leeching ideas off of Microsoft here.

Apple usually sticks to Johnny Appleseed
What we may be seeing is essentially the interface for the replacement of the iPod classic.
Since this is intended primarily as a media player, it won't need the highly interactive functionality of the iPod touch, but the interface will have many iPod touch features for navigating files in the player. And it will be the first "classic" model that gets rid of the little 1.8" hard drive in favor of 64 GB and 128 GB flash memory storage capacities.
And the display may be an OLED with a true 5:3 aspect ratio, perfect for playing back video files enhanced for widescreen displays.

A 128 GB SSD costs ~$300 you know. It'll be too expensive for most people to buy.
I'd agree with you, but the device I mentioned with the 128 GB flash memory could be here as early as September 2010.
