Anyway, I'd imagine the same touchscreen iPod interface will come to the regular iPod sometime this year. The only question is whether Apple will do it before or after the iPhone launches. I'd bank on after, so as not to downplay the iPhone's buzz. I'm calling it sometime this Autumn—6th gen touch-screen iPod. Of course, if by "decent media support" you mean things like FLAC, APE, or OGM/MKV/AVI, then... I mean, isn't that a dead horse too at this point? :P There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, it's a dead horse too but I have my dreams. Really, the way I figure it is that there must be enough people like me who want something that can do this that it should be made. My money is holding out and I imagine it's likewise for those others until that product exists.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
The reason I haven't bought an HD player recently is that I'm looking for one that can do several things: -I'd like to to be able to play m4a, mp3, ogg, and flac. While I try to get everything in mp3 that I can (purely because of compatibility), that's not always possible in the illegitimate online market of p2p. -It must have gapless playback if I want to play a seemless album (such as a live performance). -I must be able to make playlists on the go. -It must be as intuitively usable (interface-wise) as an iPod or iRivier H320. -It'd be nice to have it the size of the more recent iPods. -I don't want to have to use an external program to transfer files and a database program akin the the one iRiver uses would be very nice. For some reason, no one has thought of including this rather unassuming list of features. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? "Oh sirrah" -Hedonism Bot |
I'd agree that it'd be nice if you could transfer files straight and have the device build the metadata index on the fly. I'd imagine that as we get closer and closer to database-like filesystems (XFS on Mac, WinFS on Windows) this might come closer to reality on the iPod.
Of course, Apple is in between a rock and a hard place that way w/ the iPod, since they have to at least semi-appease the record companies' requests that the iPod not be made into the easiest piracy device this side of your mom. Fortunately, since I use OS X, iTunes isn't really that onerous. In fact, it's pretty much the only reasonable option, so... I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh well, I guess that's what you get for 2 min research lol.
Anyways, this is one thing I don't get.
For instance, when I bought Cowon D2 and brought it to school, it blew iPod user's mind away. (Mind you I have 5th gen and 4th gen too.) BTW, iPod has possibly worst sound quality ever. (This is from MINE point of view, and like I said I own 2.) Spoiler:
Ah, BTW. LG Chocolate the touchscreen (Not the new one, there is old touch screen one.) has been out atleast 2 years. Because last time I went to Korea was 2 years and I saw it there. There's nowhere I can't reach.

Here's another interesting device. Tactile feedback! I like that, it's a thoughtful detail.
