Anyone have anything to add??
How about streaming from your home source ala an iphone or touch type app??

Yes, it is always nice to talk about hypotheticals, but if Apple is releasing a new iPod soon, it seems like there would be more actual information we can post and talk about.

Hopefully a more responsive touch wheel, thinner is always nice too.

Aside from those, the obvious ones like space and improved output.

That is one of my mantras in business design but I must admit I have changed my thoughts for iPod dev.
I used to crave neural bypass by connecting to the brain and bypassing teh ear but a new one has just been aroused.

I like the idea of listening to a track in some euphoric state (not drug indused but by a beach or waterfall or within Paris Opera House etc.). Let that experience be stored as a dream then let the iPod repeat the experience in dream time ( 3 minute song in about 2 seconds). So when you want to 'experience' the song - i.e. not just listen - all you need is a dream recalling prompt. Obviously don't do this whist driving!!

Just a late night thought!

I don't think we'll ever see a digital output on an iPod, but I could be wrong. Other than some early iRiver models has any recent DAP had it?

 

[davidhunternyc]

If a digital output was the only change on the iPod, I would be happy enough.

 

[tpc41]

i can see digital output happening, but that is because apple is really pushing the video aspect of ipods. If the itunes store starts selling movies with dolby digital 5.1 audio, maybe a digital output will finally happen. Lots of people use ipods as a source in there home theater setup and use the video feature a lot... maybe we can take advantage of that digital output for our music.

Three cheers for digital out!

One can only hope.

I'm under the impression that current iPods are capable of this, but there are only a handful of devices (the Wadia, and that other really expensive one I forget the name of) that take advantage of it. Where is the portable solution? A dock cable with an "authentication chip" inside? My guess is there's just not enough demand for it. At least, not yet. But demand does seem to be growing.

 

[tpc41]

there might be a demand here, but headfi members represent .000001% of all ipod buyers

i think the surround sound audio feature will be the only way to get the demand for digital to rise

 

[davidhunternyc]

Well, I guess we are all too late to demand a digital out now.
Apple, are you listening? Hello. heLlo?! hELLo...


Woops. I am supposed to say,
Hello Dave...

 

[frozenice]

Wouldn't it make more sense if the digital line out feature was part of a new dock (especially if it was wireless).
