You think? I doubt it. I don't see that there's much reason to update
the touch; in fact, reports that say iPods are out of stock say that
it's classics and nanos that are gone.

Which leads me to a question - what new features would you seen in a
classic/nano iPod? The only biggie I can think of is wifi syncing, but
I'm not convinced that it's a great idea - most people charge via USB,
so they need to connect regularly. I seriously can't think of anything
that's currently missing (ok, maybe FLAC support...).

Any ideas?
