40 GB - same size as current 20 GB 4G iPod. That's what I will buy the day it comes out. The iPod is flawless as it is. I just need more capacity. So, good news for me.

Yeesh.

My desire for a new ipod isnt really increasing as the capacity goes up. I'm waiting for a new feature...

it really needs some kind of input device. what's the point carrying an 80GB hard drive round with you if it's "read-only" most of the time.

I never thought I would fill my 60 when I got it but I'm getting close. Less than 5GB to spare.

If video comes, an 80GB makes sense.

brapper · Aug 20, 2005, 12:16 PM

Agreed. But until then, 20GB shall do for me.

budster101 · Aug 20, 2005, 10:34 PM

If video comes a 100 makes more sense.

Me quattro.

I think the screen on the iPod needs to improve. It's too small for photos. For video it would be unacceptable. There are digital cameras that are way cheaper with much larger LCD screens than the iPod.

I am very close to buying this Archos - AV4100 Pocket Video Recorder. It has a 100 GB HD and it has nearly everything I want, but it isn't iTunes compliant. And it costs a FORTUNE!!!

Cubeoid · Aug 21, 2005, 01:30 AM

I want a pocket I can put inside my pocket..how uber convenient would that work out to be, dudes?

JoshuaZ · Aug 21, 2005, 05:06 AM

A video iPod would be cool...

Though I may just need to upgrade my 10 GIG Rev 2 to a iPod color so I can plus my camera into it on trips...

Once you finish showing it off to your friends, what good is the video feature? I mean, how often to you watch movies away from your house? Is your train or bus commute long enough? Do you fly a lot?

I don't understand the mass appeal of video functionality. I was considering the 30GB iPod before it was discontinued. I have a shuffle now, but I'll wait and see if a 40GB comes out. If it has video features, that's nice, but I doubt I'll use it for video that often.

Busemann · Aug 21, 2005, 04:39 PM

What I want is WiFi so that it can stream to Airport Express or act as a remote. Useful and cool.

it won't be 40 gigabytes though because its only a single platter, the ipod usually has two platters squeezed into one drive, so it will be 80 in the next version.

Waiting for ipod-sat.

I have a lot of free time at work and VERY little free time at home. I watch about 90% of the movies I see while I'm at work. Currently I have to go to a big confrence room and watch TV/movies on a rear projection screen in conference room type chairs. I'd rather be able to be anywhere at work and be able to watch. I know... woah is me.

I would use this thing daily. Especially with the TiVo transfer functionality. Load up my TiVoed shows at home and watch them at work.
