When Geekoids Daydream

iPodlounge has no official say-so with Apple but iPodders nonetheless consider the site gospel, meaning there've been a lot of responses to a new article about the 10 features Apple should include on a new fifth-generation iPod. (Poster Divad 1 wants his to have a 9mm pistol). Bloggers elsewhere are talking too about the new iPod and what new features it might have -- the web is rife with fanciful designs that reflect what people want the new model to be. The consensus? Most techies want movies, Bluetooth and a user-replaceable battery to replace the expensive, inaccessible model Apple now uses. And they want that stuff now. Fortunately, it might not be very much longer. Engadget reported Friday that Apple is inviting people to a "special media event" on July 7, but keeping quiet about what exactly that means. Could Steve Jobs roll out the iPod of tomorrow? If so, what will it look like? Wouldn't it be delicious if it looked like this?
