I am sick of the "DO NOT DISCONNECT" message. I feel like telling my 15 GB iPod "Hey, watch your attitude man, i spent 400 bucks on you!" I think a major improvement would be to have a music/firewire toggle. A small switch built into a new iPod dock would switch between the connection to the computer and the music mode. This would eliminate the need to disconnect the iPod if u want to hear the latest tune you put onto it. This would also restructure the "DO NOT DISCONNECT" function, making it that you can disconnect the iPod except when actually transferring files and music, when it would say "Transferring Files, PLEASE Do Not Disconnect" This would be extremely helpful it you powered your dock and then immediately wanted to play music through your stereo speakers. This would also eliminate the nuisance of it trying to connect to the computer every time you simply want to charge it up.
