Interesting; I wonder what the final version would look like if it did have a touch screen.

Its not such a bad idea, considering the technology is becoming so compact the user interface like the buttons and the scroll wheel are becoming hard to be incorporated in the products, and with the touch screen we could see many interesting features that can be had with that interface. Plus it will allow for a much bigger screen to be had in a current or even smaller size package.

And apple would probably think about solving the issue of finger-smudge before they build it, or at least i hope so.

This way they can make you buy a new ipod every 6 months because the battery will suck!

Or something will mysteriously stop working at a pre defined date.

booo the ipod.

Customer: I can't get rid of the scratches and fingerprints on my ipod.
Apple Tech Support: Please call 1-800-MY-APPLE, give the sales rep your credit card number and we'll ship you a newer model. Don't forget to throw your current one into the trash can.

I hope Apple doesnt make PDAs. I think the real iPod video will just be another iPod line so those still wanting a physical user interface will still have the traditional iPods.
