They already have these, they are called smart phones or PDAs.

Honestly, I don't really see anything else that will get added to the iPod. Eventually, they will stop making the iPod Videos and only sell the iPhone and iPod Nano.

Yeah by far the biggest problem with iPods is that you have to use iTunes. I refuse to install that flaming turd on my precious computer.

Between this post and your use of "ur", I've no doubt you'll get clearance from Mat to be the new Travel Forum mod.

LOL, seriously. Quicktime files bug because it means I have to install iTunes, which in addition to being a general PITA does what all the other media downloads do - tries to get you to use their software as the default for everything, sign you up for stuff, add icons to desktop, quicklaunch, stapled to your forehead, etc. It's nearly as annoying as spyware.

Piggybacking Quicktime onto iTunes is a clever marketing ploy, but it also makes me hate them.

with ur support, tuq, it's a lock

3. Not breaking after 6 months of routine use

This really depends on what you do with your ipod. If you have a high-capacity ipod with a HDD in it, do NOT use it for activities. Running with an 80GB iPod is the nut low. If you want a running/exercise device, use a nano or (I recommend) the Shuffle.

The video is best for things like riding in transit, or as a mass storage. They tend to break because people knock them around when they are playing, and that will cause problems for *any* hdd, not just iPods.
