It says, "For easy accessory development." I think they are just showing some options that third parties can take advantage of. It certainly would be sweet to have that lcd remote... but I don't think I'd pony up for it.
What I found most interesting was the "iPod Accessory Protocol". This means, Apple has defined or is in the process of defining an extension protocol which will be made available to developers. This is great news, since it will make the iPod into a platform, not just an isolated device.

FWIW, someone at an Apple Store on the 24th said that an FM tuner was coming out for the iPod...
SWEET! That's one of those features I think a lot of people have been drooling for. Despite its capacity to have your entire library with you, there's just no substitute for being able to switch over to radio to tune into news, etc.

Well, I believe an FM tuner has been out for a while.... what I'd like to see is XFM or Sirius teaming up with Apple and having satellite radio built in to the next gen. iPod. I really only use my iPod in my car and don't need an FM tuner or any other external gadgets.
