Everyone is discussing a new range of iPods, but I think before that happens there will be a new Software Update for the current iPods. What do you think will be included in it? I hope there will be -
* Ogg Vorbis Support
* Better games, Space impact
* Ability for people to make software for iPod
What else do you think/want to be included?

I could see the next software update being this:

iPod 2.0: With iPod 2.0 Software, you can convert your entire music library to Mpeg-4 and play them on your iPod. With Mpeg-4 you will be able to fit TWICE as much songs on your iPod with the same quality. It's like having a 10 GB iPod for the cost of a 5 GB iPod. All new iPods will ship with iPod 2.0 Firmware, for existing iPods it's $30.00 for the upgrade.

What would you think of that?

That would be sweet, but I don't think it's gonna happen until iTunes 4 gets here.
