What do you want in a 5G iPod?

[wrldwzrd89]

I'm a mac user at home and the only machine I keep music on is a mac but I used the iPod software on the work PC to make my iPod a FAT 32 iPod. It's simply a case of plugging you iPod into a PC with iTunes installed and in about 1 min you have a FAT 32 iPod (empty)
This can then be used on both the Mac and PC as the mac can read fat 32 no problem.
So I have a PC iPod that is used almost exclusivly on mac's except for those emergencies that crop up where you need to transport huge files from pc -> pc or pc -> mac. Then I'm thankful I have a FAT 32 iPod.

There is nothing scary in the slightest about making your iPod FAT 32 except for the fact you will be wiping it clean, until you plug it back into your main music library

There's one downside with FAT32 though - it doesn't support files larger than 4GB. If you want to transfer something that big, you'll need to use another method. If you don't have any giant files though, I agree that it's a good solution for transferring files.

I'd like to see the EQ setting froms iTunes carry over to the iPod, instead of just being able to have one EQ setting for all songs.

about the formatting type

Sure, that's a good point, but there's no harm in Apple giving an option to format the iPod into whichever format the user would prefer is there?

that's allready there -in a way- your iPod formats itself to HFS+ or FAT32 according to the first computer you hook it onto... remeber apple selling iPod for mac and iPod for PC seperately?? now they don't do that anymore and just let the iPod 'see' it when its hooked up for the first time... (well someone told me that after finding it out that his 3G was Fat32 and mine HFS+...)

Cheaper
Longer battery life
Ogg support
Color choice, without a U2 lock in, on the 20-60GB models, or at least get rid of the grey click wheel.
No color screen on the regular iPod, since it would reduce battery life
