How does it affect your life with what forum he asks this question in.

Hardly anyone would use the feature. I have a FM tuner on my Sansa Fuse and have never used it.

More storage and lose the orientation/motion sensing garbage. Also the form factor on the Gen3 was mo better than Gen4. So basically I want a Gen3 nano with 88 TB of storage and I want it to be free and have an led headlight.

No cus it's Apple and Apple tells you what you want on your hardware and when you need it and charges you for simple updates.

 

[secretanchitman]

iphone 3GS internals (faster cpu, more RAM), 16GB for $199, 32GB for $299, 64GB for $399, camera, mic, OLED screen (if the cost is low and the resolution is high), ipod touch colors possibly (ditch the chrome? who knows). hopefully they add something that the 3GS doesnt have. for example, the 2G ipod touch had a faster processor, nike + ipod, and 32GB capacity - things the iphone 3G never had (and still dont).

 

[pontifex]

i want creative to release more firmware updates for the Zen X-Fi. Last one was almost a year ago.

 

[coldmeat]

I'm not really looking for any upgrade over my 120gb classic. It'll last me a few years yet and it's perfect for what I want.

I guess it would be nice if they could make them lighter, but I hope they don't really go down in size (screen size that is).

 

[funkymatt]

fm transmitter would be pretty nice. a tablet will probably be announced soon tho.

 

[Colt45]

Doesn't matter, it still isn't going to break my "no apple since the LC I had when I was a kid" streak.

Apple can't fit a fm transmitter in their ipods just like microsoft can't fit a wifi module in their xboxs, everybody knows this.

Yeah, I can't believe they're not putting obsolete technology in the iPod these days!

Someone should let the hundreds of millions of FM radio listeners know that they shouldn't be using such obsolete technology.

Hundreds of million of people still use AM radio. Should we add that technology to the iPod?

I think Microsoft should add a VHS player to the Xbox 360. After all, hundreds of millions of people still watch video tapes.

I want a different avatar than the black dude on all the free ipod threads.

 

[Locut0s]

Stop being so anal and inconsistent about what apps they do or do not approve for the app store. Sometimes some damned competition with the native apps is actually a good thing. Hello Firefox app?!?
