My guess is no, it won't change the world. But it could reduce by one the number of gadgets a lot of people carry around.

  1. iPod by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny
    I think for their next iPod, Apple should add a couple features:

    1. Cellphone that works with all the cell networks in the world.
    2. 802.11x or whatever that new superfast wireless standard is that works with 802.11b, v.92 modem, Gigabit ethernet, and the LCD backlight should be able to blink morse code.
    3. Military GPS accurate to 1"
    4. A keyboard and also hand recognition (but not graffiti crap, real hand recognition). And voice recognition.
    5. It's screen should be color and widescreen format so I can watch my cracked DVDs on it.
    6. It should run linux, but have virtual machines so it can also run Palm and Windows apps. Oh, and a gameboy advance emulator.
    7. The battery should last at least a week, preferably two.
    8. None of this SDMI crap. I can put on and take off anything. In fact, it should have a video and audio in, so I can take input straight from my DVD player into the device and share them with my friends.
    9. It should be the same size it is now, and still use firewire.
    10. Flash card, Smartmedia, multimedia card and PCMCIA slots.

    Oh, and I won't pay more than $150 for it.

    That'd be cool! ;-)
