Yes, it would be nice to include these features into this ~$500 device

1. High-res color backlit LCD 240x160
2. Allow to show JPEG digital pictures
3. Allow to show MPGEG-1 video clips
4. 10G hard drive
5. Same external dimension

Following that logic, we should have PowerMovie, PowerDVD and PowerTunes. We'd connect to our PowerDisks using out PowerTools (heh) log on name.



My name's ...uh... it's a bummer man.

i disagree.

i like the price.

(i'll be the only one with it and i believe a person who pays a great sum for a great product, it's great for both parties)

i like the features.

i dont need that other stuff, i want it to play music and hold some of my files. seriously, if it had all that stuff, i'd rarely use it and it might break easier. so no thanks, ask apple to make a powernewton for you.

I don't see it happening. $400 as a pricepoint for the iPod has already brought in too much critisism. Anything higher (regardless of the power features) would just get nailed on. We don't need a mega-function device...
