This looks like something M$ would make.

Why don't they put the scroll wheel on the back of the ipod?!?!? I've been saying that for years!!

using the bezel is actualy comfortable. though it seems like a solution built from trying not to touch the screen. i think it would look great on one of the imac/cinema stands, only much much smaller.

"Electronic Device Having Display and Surrounding Touch Sensitive Bezel for User Interface and Control"

They should keep this name. It's catchy.

Hah! Brilliant. Very much like what could only be described as the best movie title in the last half-century: "Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan".

I imagine it happening like that episode of the simpsons where lisa makes that new doll and everyone's excited and everything then as all the children run towards the display of dolls. WHOOSH! The sheet is pulled of a shiny display of brand new Malibu Stacy dolls, now with trendy new hat!

Just replace the Lisa doll with the Zune and Malibu Stacy with hat with a brand new Widesreen, touch sensitive iPod.....with hat lol 😀

Want a Video Ipod... but not this one

The main reason I hate this idea is, I have a 3G iPod, which is easily apple's most poorly designed ipod.

You can FEEL for the buttons to skip or pause or whatever. Once you touch, you've already skipped to the next song. Having to contantly put on the lock button is very annoying.

To imagine just holding this and accidently activating a million options...

I can hope this is either a decoy, or that somehow apple has figured out something we arent seeing from the diagrams.

If it's anything like the 3G model.. NO! NO! NO!!! Bad Apple!

BTW What happened to the super hip anime style "none-touch" ipod?

Me neither. I want a large capacity (100GB+) audio iPod. No movies, no photos, no games. A black and white screen and a long battery life.

I like the idea of a color screen to show Cover Art. I'm actually selling off my 5G to get a 4G color since battery life is like 10x better plus.... much better control.
