TouchScreen..it would be amazing..maybe not super practical, but good it would be cool. Apple would need a strong anti-scratch screen. Also breaking the 60Gb cap the iPod has had for to long. I'd like to see 100Gbs for 120Gbs. And then the low end model would be nice also. And better batter life, the 20hrs on the 60Gb is nice, but how about 30hrs on the 100GB and 25hrs on the 50Gb model!?

Inductive charging

can someone explain me what's inductive charging?

From what I understand... It seals the battery from moisture. Kinda like an electric toothbrush.

I can see a need for it kinda. Especially for runners with iPod Nano. In my area of country it rains alot. I'll probably wrap the Nano in a plastic sandwich baggie myself (cheaper) and then go out for a run.

I don't think we'll see a touch screen iPod. I am thinking a slight design change, and different colors for the nano. But it is Apple; who knows?

You are partially right. It actually is when there is no connection between the base and the unit. So the (toothbrush/iPod) sits in its base but charges, however no contact is made.
