Default Ipods

I just bought an 80 gig video ipod and it's awesome. I love it, it's pretty much my best friend. However, it got me to thinking what is missing and what can still be done to improve it
In my opinion there are 2 things:

1. speakers. im often hanging out with friends and wanna play my ipod, but theres no speakers. id like a tiny one on the side

2. internet. this one is obvious.


what do you guys think?

Any speaker built into the ipod would suck sweaty balls. Get one of the speaker dock things if you must, or plug it into something through the headphone jack.

Internet is not obvious. What would you want to do w/ internet on an ipod? How much are you willing to pay for it?

It would be small, cheap, tinny, and bad-sounding. What's to like?

Speakers are a horrible idea - you'd never get enough sound out of them to be worth anything.

The best thing an iPod could improve on IMO would be, in order:

- drag&drop file copying like a normal USB memory stick
- anything but itunes
- FM tuner
- better quality earbuds
-

I've heard that HD-based players break down far more than flash players, so I just ordered a Sansa 8 gig flash memory based player. Not that much room in comparison, but I won't have to worry about it overheating, etc., and dying young.

How would it connect to the internet? Hooked up to a cell phone? In that case, just use the phone.
