i think its almost certain we will see touch screen iPods....really come on. there has to be more to this announcement than just those fatpods. come on steve. you can bring on more than just that!
They say its allows them to create smaller ipods and iphones as this design makes full use of the front and back of the screen in a sense. The Ghosting buttons on the front sound so cool to me imagine seeing where your touching on the back of the device being displayed on the front. And who cares if you cant change the song while your driving (physical click wheel freaks, your just afraid to advance) So for all the iPod Touch Ne-Sayers is it that far of a stretch if they had the patents filed for this beast months ago? Bring it on is what I say! Think about it multi-touch but your hand never covers any of the screen up! Now if you really want to read something interesting as far as Patents for the iPod Touch Interface check this out!http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/06/07/20/inside_apples_latest_ipod_touch_screen_patent_filing.html So much possibilities . thats a discussion all in its own.
