two-sided device

You guys know those reports that say the bottons have been repositioned?



From the drawings it kind of looks like they are recessed. If they were, could a full color lcd be mounted on what has hitherto been the back of the ipod and just turn the current front into the back, and turn the back into the touchscreen (or not) larger color screen?



Or, are there long-standing (it just won't work) issues with a design that has user input on both sides of a device?

    It would have to be wider (thicker) to support stuff on both sides, and it'd be rather impractical to work with.

    I thought most devices had at least two sides



    Being serious: Apple will never build a two-sided iPod. End of story.
