Just a far, far superior battery life. Color screen isn't needed, wireless earbuds are pretty stupid, what happens when they fall out? FM Tuner would be ok but not at the sacrifice of weight.

So from me:

20+ hours of battery life

Smaller

The wireless/bluetooth module wouldn't be something you'd plug into the iPod. It would alread be in the iPod (nothing would fall out).

I thought all this stuff sounded really good until I read Phillip's post... which kinda made a lot of sense.

Who needs all these extras when we've already got the perfect piece of kit. A further price drop would be nice though (without taking bits and pieces out of the box ie. lack of dock).

Edit: will people stop moaning about battery life. I don't think Apple currently have the technology to boost battery life by say another 2 hours.

Eh my .02

Longer battery life is still a must at least 16+ hours since i work 12 hours days

bluetooth i would say only for a wireless remote you clip on your collar or somthing to that effect i can live with wired headphones

abillity to advance to the next playlist on the remote would be very nice

and smaller size

I?d love to see wi-fi. Think about it, you walk into the range of your computer and it syncs your tunes without even taking your iPod out of your pocket. MAC filtering could be used to make sure that it syncs with the right computers (all configurable within iTunes). Also allow your iPod to communicate with Airport Express so you could have your iPod in your pocket coming back from work/school, turn on the stereo and continue your listening.

Bluetooth/Wireless headphones would be the selling point for me :yes: i've been wishing for them since I was in 5th grade :D

The one thing that might be holding it back is security. You don't want some guy next to you listening off of your iPod (without you knowing), or even worst copying your songs.

Hmmm.....

1. Longer Battery Life - Agreed.

2. Color/Video Playing Capabilities - Playing Video on such a small screen would be pointless and that would just guzzle battery life anyway.

3. Wireless Headphnes - Thats not really an improvment. You can probably buy those seperatly and then headphones would need batterys and everything. Why need wireless headphones anyway? Its not like your iPod is ever far enough from your head phones dont work.

4. Cheaper - I agree , It is a very good product but their are other MP3 Players that are almost just as good and possiblly have more capabilties/stuff and are cheaper.

5. FM tuner - That would just add to the bulk of the iPod. The entire point to the iPod is to cary your own music anyway. But it would be pretty kool as an accessory.

6. Wirelessly trade music between to iPods - Erm...The iPod comes with a sticker that says "Please dont steal music" and then they give you a feature that lets you take music from other iPods? I dont think so

7. Removable/Chargable Battery - Yes. I think it would be useful. If they dont increase the battery life then atleast you could be able to swap it for a charged battery.

8. Smaller - Yah , It would be nice if it was smaller but all this crap you are suggesting above would pretty much prevent a decrease in size if not an increase.

But I wouldnt mind abit brighter screen.

I would like

- Slightly smaller design, retaining the same size screen (SLIGHTLY, don't want it getting like the mini's)

- Better sound quality (Better Bass!)

- Inbuilt bluetooth, whilst retaining current 4G battery consumption.

- Colour OLED screen, whilst retaining current 4G battery consumption.

- Blue neon lights behind the scroll-wheel (to light up the buttons/outer edge of the wheel), again, keping the battery the same.

- White scroll wheel.

That would make the perfect 5G iPod to me.

Huh? I was talking about wireless bluetooth headphones, if they fall out they just hit the floor.

err?? lol they already do infrared headphones for a multitude of things so doing the same thing with bluetooth is not a problem (There are already music Bluetooth headsets not just for phones no more). AWAI for instance are in the middle of making there own headset which is very close to coming to market. (I will most likely buy them if they are compatible with my iBooks internal bluetooth Dongle)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
