My immediate thought is "poor battery life". Am I right, am I wrong?
My god, what have I done!

Actually, when I first saw it, I thought it would be a good idea if you could connect your digital camera directly to it.

5-6 hours if it is on a continual slideshow for that time. 15 hours normal use.
Features include: album art while song plays 40gig or 60gig(sheeit) models select specific pics for slideshow and select background music
There is an optional adapter that lets you transfer storage cards/sticks to your ipod. That means that if you're a digital photographer, you will never run out of room for photos.

That and no line in (with support for real time encoding). I think that's a pretty basic requirement! They're really behind the times.
and Photos? come on, people are too egotistical already.

I take shitloads of photos. Doesn't help that I'm working on a portfolio either. Many many.
Belated opinion: I wont buy it. Too expensive. But cool nonetheless.

I just find it a weird thing to pick out of so many possible things to tag on. with not much more space and work, it could be a mini pc.. so why not? Already pricey.
I'm waiting for shit that size (and weight) to have a 1ghz processor

It would indeed be better if it could be connected directly to a digital camera or even if it had one built in, but to only be able to browse old pictures that have to be added from a computer, that's a bit rubbish I think.

a built-in camera wouldn't be that great - most mobile phones have camera's in them these days, which get used about 0.000001% of the time.
it's just thinking up useless new things to try and re-sell the iPod, which is ofcourse completely unnecessary as it's selling like Pink Sugared Shitcakes Covered In Saucy Porn-Juice anyway.

not good--screen easily damaged if hidden. would be better if it had some sort of solid inside on front.

The silly thing is....
The promotion for iPod says you can hold 20,000 songs and take them wherever. If you used the iTunes store to purchase your music legally it'd cost near enough $20,000? They are smooth though.

god damnit elusive don't you notice that your comments are inane? Firstly, you are not some deity to have access to tablet pieces--last time I was at the airport I saw some fat half crippled woman using one to write an email. I've used shitloads.
second, my followup mentions rolling displays and then I insult myself, so obviously I'm dicking around. Can you read? Are you mentally retarded? Why don't you realize these things?
Obviously I'd like all sorts of obvious stuff we haven't mentioned which is currently impossible--foldable, extendable screen, all sorts of input capabilities, low heat, fast, resilient, blah--this list takes no intelligence to compile, I don't know why you're being snide. You're just some idiot sysadmin wannabe jockey who gleans sensationalist fluff from computer hobbyist magazines that get excited about windows's new file system, late release date, linux's new release process, and solaris's interest in x86.

no not really.
you didn't say why you tablets suck
you just said they suck.
uhh, why don't you share why and how you dont like them so many we can create a discussion on what would be more suitable-a-device for people such as yourself.

well, i'll tell you one thing. that thing won't last for 15 hours, that's for sure. my 40gb 4gen ipod doesn't even come close to 12 hours unless it's on repeat with no extra settings on. they give you a completely ridiculous battery time.

as for the new one, at almost £500 I would rather buy an ibook for the little extra. I can view "and" edit pictures on that, along with everything else an ibook can do :)

iPod is fuking incredilbe. I don't own any mp3 device yet, but most of my friends who have em have ipods...and they are very sexy.
for an alternative, tony, check out Dells mp3DJ or something.
There are coupons going around every other week.
You can ge the 15gb or 20gb model (i forget which one) for $139 after coupon codes. lol
