Now with 3G, I'd love to see the ability to stream internet radio like iTunes does. (I'm thinking in the car on road trips.) I hope someone comes out with an App to do this.

I know this article is about the iPod portion of the iPhone. But it just occurred to me; still no copy and paste? Really? If the original Palm could do this with a stylus, surely the brilliant people at Apple can do this. (And I will call you Shirley.)

With Mobile Me and 3G, I'd like to see personal library hosting. iPhone capacity isn't enough to hold a BUNCH of video, but if you could host your music and video library file on Mobile Me, you could set up a stream from your computer to your iPhone. Mobile Me could also allow you to rearrange playlists and media data on your iPhone and push a change on your iTunes library.

Apple could get around P2P efforts be requiring a tethered sync of the device and machine before enabling streaming. This would be great for iPodTouch users who have access to WiFi connections too since they wouldn't have to deal with data fees. A change like this would make me an instant buyer of one of these two devices since I knew I wouldn't have to manage a video library.

I'd love to see the image tank capabilities, using the Apple Photo Connector for iPod, reintroduced.
that was such a great thing. OK, maybe not on the 8GB iPhone, barely worth it, but on the 16GB device it would be quite useful.

We could also focus on the lost features and whether they ought to be resurrected or superseded with something better. Here's one example. Classic iPods support something called "Notes." Not just a yellow ruled pad as on the iPhone and iPod touch but the capability of taking on folders full of text files that follow a rudimentary form of HTML such that they can be linked together and hyperlink to audio, video and JPEG images. The iPod Notes function had one glaring problem -- getting those files onto the iPod. They could not be podcast. The folks that created Mogopop came up with a neat application that resolved this difficulty but that was apparently too little, too late.

Now we have the iPhone and iPod touch with a full-fledged web browser that is really quite good. It is hobbled in that you cannot use the file:/// scheme to display locally stored HTML files unless you have Jailbroken your device, patched Safari to handle the file:/// scheme and manually installed HTML files and related media on your device. Yes, we still have that "last inch" problem.

So what I propose is that Apple enable Safari to handle the file:/// scheme and extend the podcasting model to include a package that can contain HTML (minimum), JPEG images and audio/video files.
as well.

So, why would anyone want to lug around a bunch of web pages when you have WiFi, 3G and Edge? I'll leave that question to other commentators.

One thing I HATE, is when you are on shuffle, and you have it on the album/rating screen, where all the other tracks for that album are. IF you select another track from the album you are taken out of random and now the only tracks that will play are from the album, you have to go back to whatever list you had before and shuffle again... SO ANNOYING

And how about these:
Turning off or adjusting the sensitivity of the orientation switching?
Allowing shuffle in Cover Flow.
Providing a true EQ, instead of presets.
Automatic volume control for movie playback, I find myself constantly changing the volume on video playback.
"Karaoke" mode for song lyrics, iTunes sells Karaoke tracks already, just go the whole 9 yards already.
That fun "alphabet" scroll like the contact list in cover flow.

Forget A2DP, in practice it sounds like a good idea, in reality the quality just isn't there. I have a bluetooth stereo headset from WiRevo and the sound quality is simply awful. Even on higher end BT headphones the quality is awful. There was discussion about a new tech. that uses low power wifi with higher quality play back.

Bluetooth HID profile. The onscreen keyboard is nice, but it would be fantastic to use a Bluetooth keyboard, or better still a Bluetooth barcode scanner. I know the iPhone can read barcodes with the camera, but the iPod Touch doesn't have a camera. I see some amazing enterprise potential for the combination of an iPod Touch and a barcode scanner.
