I don't think an iPod will have a Hard drive because it would take too long to boot up. The iPhone takes 5-10 seconds to boot and that's all solid state. It would take much longer on a slow spinning 1.8" HDD.
The iPod can sleep. It doesn't have to boot every time you turn it on.
1/ Multi touch allready made its way into the current Macbook series. Hopefully the Swiping, Pinching and Scrolling gestures will soon become part of everyone's Macbook life.
2/ The iPhone's current interface is amazing. It's the end of the scroll bar and the cursor!
I still contend that the 6G video iPod will NOT have either WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity--it will be a strictly media player that can connect to an Apple TV device through an iPod dock that has the standard iPod data connector; the dock can connect to the AirPort Extreme device so it can stream media to the Apple TV.
Why no built-in WiFi or Bluetooth? The reason is simple: it prevents hackers from accessing the iPod through a wireless connection and possibly damaging the player.
So will this thing play videos larger than the iPhone does? Because I don't like how squished up videos are on the iPhone. Can't they make the video play completely full screen??

I've never seen a case where remote access damages hardware.

The demo videos suggest tapping (or double tapping?) the screen during playback to change the video play mode, switching between letterbox or full screen mode.

On the iPhone??? Really? I'll have to check that out.
Edit: I just watched a demo video, and that isn't what I want. I want the video to go all the way from the left side to the right side of the device, without all the black space on each side. I will ALWAYS watch videos in their original theatrical aspect ratio, so the "fullscreen" thing isn't what I want. I just want more screen real estate that's ACTUALLY screen.
I agree with you. I think there's a good chance of it having Wifi. I just hope it can wirelessly sync.
I don't think you really understand the consequences of wireless sync. It will take battery power and operate at 1/10th the speed of a USB 2 connection. Using the cable charges and syncs at the best speed. There are interesting ideas for wireless in iPods, but I don't think syncing is one of them.

The video apple-iphone-welcome show a sample video of the widescreen video of Cars being fit to the left and right edge of the screen, in what appears to be the original aspect ratio. The actual audio is like this: "you can double tap to see the movie in its theatrical aspect ratio, if you want to zoom in at full screen, double tap again".

Yes. I know! What i'm talking about is having the screen COVER THE ENTIRE FACE OF THE DEVICE. So that they'll be about 2 millimeters of edge on each side of the screen, and the video will be covering one entire side of the device. The screen is not as big as i'd like it to be. That's all i'm saying.

OK then. Your original wording suggested that the video was distorted or something like that. For the iPone, It would be nice to have a bigger screen, but I don't know if it's realistic, given that there needs to be more room than that for the mic and the earpiece. On an iPod without those things, then maybe, but I don't know if there are screens that size and shape.

Well, the iPod is now a complete media player, and it SHOULD be better at playing movies than the iPhone is.
I think the new widescreen ipod will have a 4" screen.
Nice but I'll see believe it when I see it, my 4 GB 1st died of unknown causes, so I replaced it with a 2nd gen Nano. Since my itunes account got bigger over the years I opted to upgrade to the 30GB Video last week but knew an improved verison was not that far around the bend.

Yes, of course anything wireless will drain the battery.
The speed is not such a big issue though because all I would have to do is bring the iPod into wireless range of my computer. I can even leave it in my bag and it's updated and ready to go to work with me the next morning. When I have to plug it in, I'm sitting there waiting for it so I want it to be as fast as possible. I know my usage doesn't match everyone elses but I usually charge it at work and sync it at home.

It's probably economically advantageous for Apple to use the same 3.5" screen from the iPhone. All the same parts. It'll be interesting to see if the keep it iPhone planform area or iPod planform area too.

That would suck really badly if the iPod keeps the 3.5" screen. I want a bigger screen damn it!!!
well. i think a touch function is useless, apple should updater more in iPod screen.them i can make full use off LINK REMOVED DO NOT SPAM THIS SOFTWARE HERE for iPod

Hopefully it would also act as an eBook Reader with eBooks sold through iTunes.
