And what annoys me most is right now, just think of how many people are buying soon-to-be outdated iPods! I can't even think of doing that..but they don't seem to care!

Well "buying" is a big world......."Back to school"-ipods are almost a present......you barely pay them....it can be worthwhile even knowing that they're soon-to-be outdated....
And bring back Firewire! Big mistake, Apple, to drop Firewire from the shuffle. BIG mistake!!!
I would really like to see some new features to the iPhone/iPod software when they inevitably release 3.1 around this event. Maybe hd video output, who knows what else. Maybe the social aspects rumored in iTunes 9 will make their way to the ipod touch iPhone.
That would be ridiculous.
4GB is already crazy. They should revert the design, limit the GB, and reduce the price drastically, making it a feed into Itunes and Apple for very young buyers.
....but, I can imagine the 8GB popping up soon. Now that I think about it, yeah.
Discontinued?! NO MORE IPODS?!
Blu-ray support in the iPod shuffle is imminent.
Lol, with a slot-loading drive no less.
I'd actually be happier if the shuffle was axed in favor of a $99 iPod Nano.
Japan just announced a cell phone with blu-ray support.

A thousand times, this. I still consider the first-gen Shuffle the most thought-out and useful, since it doubles as a USB drive and is its own charge cable.
Septuple-click to begin taking video! Nontuple-click, hold, and then quadruple click to send to MobileMe!
If they're planning on doing a line-wide revision, I'm really curious as to what will happen to the Classics and the Nanos. The only givens are the video camera and tech updates to the Touch. Nanos are a cash-cow and trendy, but the Classic seems like it has an expiration date; as soon as the Touch gains capacities higher than the Classic (256GB anyone?) and the price drops a bit in Flash memory, I can't see why they'd keep around the Classic. Touch Apps are the direction Apple is headed, not the limited apps that you can use on Touchwheel iPods.
So if I'm walking down the street and my iPhone is in my pocket and I'm holding an LCD screen and keyboard ... wouldn't it be easier to just be holding my iPhone that already has a keyboard and monitor?
(please explain what you mean)
updater: oh wait, I think I get what you are saying. My desk at home and at work would just have a monitor and keyboard, and the entire computer would be my phone that would always be with me. Everywhere I go, they just have a monitor and keyboard? Is that what you mean?
I think hackers would have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much fun with that. Perhaps, if the monitor was bluetooth broadcast (one-way connection) only, and the keyboard had to plug directly into your phone (think of a headphones jack on your phone), it would be secure.
It's called the iEye. It's coming next.

Whenever you're buying any kind of new technology, you're buying a soon-to-be outdated product.
Even your Late 2008 MacBook Pro was soon-to-be outdated, as a newer model came out only eight months later (or fewer, depending on when you bought).
I guess I should get rid of my Early 2005 PowerBook and my 1st Gen nano (even though they both work perfectly) because they're extremely outdated.
How can anyone buy soon-to-be outdated technology! Horror of horrors!

Why, do they stop working at midnight ?

And I shouldn't have bought a never-been-used 2007 model Yamaha Vino 125 in 2008 either! Even thought I ended up saving about $600!
What a terrible idea that was...
