True, but so will the iPod. It will be very interesting to see what Apple does to the next generation iPod to answer the Microsoft Zune.

My first MP3 player was the RIO Cali 128. I went with it because it supported the ability to add SD cards to it so I could carry more music. It was okay for what it was but the interface was terrible. Last year I bought a 2GB Nano and quickly discovered 2GB wasn't enough when I wanted to load it with both Podcasts and my music. Now, I've been lusting for the Zune as I'd like to get back to wma as my format and get into video as well. In addition to gaining disk space back with wma vs mp3/aac, I'm excited by the fact that there were a fair amount of accessories released with the Zune as well.
One of the reasons I went with the iPod a year ago over the various PlaysForSure offerrings were the accessories. I'm not real big on headphones and my main goal was to have a way to listen to my music while working in front of my computer. Until the iPod and the various speaker accessories came along that meant a bulky boombox type scenario and a lot of ripping to CD's. The other option was to setup a full fledged audio system and plug in a bulky media player of some sort. With the Nano and my Logitech speakers I've got a small device that gives me good sound and leaves me a lot of desk space. Now I eagerly await getting enough $'s together to spring for the Zune and speakers and then my iPod will be on the auction block.

Outside of a larger screen I'm not sure what the iPod needs to answer to. I don't see "squirting" as something Apple will be too concerned with. Wireless functions within the home environment is another matter and I expect that some form of it will implemented on the upcoming iPods to work in conjunction with the recently introduced iTV.
