What would you like in a NEW iPod Photo?
I hope the pull back in iPod Photo availability means an improved implementation of the Photo iPod. As an avid photographer the photo iPod falls short for my needs.
It needs to download full resolution photos directly from my Nikon, (which has a USB port). Even better would be a CF card capable port. Some sort of combo port would be ideal as I use a Sony Memory Stick as well.
Many cameras take mpeg movies, as some even allow them to be as long as capacity allows. imagine a 100 gig Photo iPod that could hold hours of movies. You could shoot a documentary with your digital camera.
Imagine a Photo iPod that can take sills, and make movies with iSight.

Since a color screen is expected to be added into the standard line, thus marking the end of the iPod photo, perhaps Apple will add an "iPod camera" model in it's place. I'd pay $100 more for a solid small camera (or $50 more if it was more like a cell phone camera).
Another possibility is a third-party camera attachment. If the Minis and the entire iPod line gain color screens, that's a much larger potential user base than just the iPod photos.
Also: PictBridge.

crappy quality, expensive, horrendous battery life... need i go on?
a camera in an iPod...we all know thats not very Apple at all. apple devotes its products to simplicity and always has a "make it just get the job done for the consumer" attitude...camera in an iPod.
not until hell freezes over and apple buys sony.
The new iPod photo better have some sort of deal where you can put your picture into the library and not just on the drive using that slow-ass belkin contraption.
Also, if h264 is scalable to cell phones, it probably doesn't take that much processing power.
I don't really care what Apple does with it, until they lower the photo into my price range, and considering I already have a 40 gig, it better be really low.

correct, but some anal people here would be pissed if they couldnt plug in the ipod video to an HDTV and have hi def video. 3G quality is probable on an ipod, HD is absurb (for now).
PictBridge support and a easier /most common method to sync for Windows users- currently PC syncing is wqith Adobe product (No interoperatibility with other imaging software eg. JASC, ACDSee, MS Digital Image,Picasa-a clone of iPhoto)-here's my solution:
many camera's memory cards and other MP3 players appear as mass storage devices (in Explorer), iPhoto photo should do too-similar to how the iPod shuffle might be miunted when used as a flash drive. Sync with other photo organisers (eg. Jasc PSP Photo Album, ACDSee, Microsoft Digital Image Suite's DigitaL Image Suite)-instead of just Adobe products supported.
Shouldn´t be much of a problem. What about making the iPod some kind of remote for the Mac (like Romeo does for mobile phones)?
(2.) Less scratch prone case, something that doesn?t scratch when you breathe on it
(3.) Better sound output
(4.) Built in voice recorder
(5.) Have the ability to sync with any iTunes without destroying data on either one.
(6.) Have the ability to see my music in the mounted iPod drive instead of just iTunes

hi aph, you're a bit ahead of the curve, looks like it...
apple seems to put profit ahead of features

Yea, well I want a legion of winged monkeys to do my bidding but I?m realistic enough to know that I would never be able to take care of them emotionally, so I forgot it. I think you should do the same, forget about it isn?t going happen.
Across all models.
