Next gen idea

After thinking on long train trips a few ideas struck me for the next gen ipod...
There are rumors going around that the next gen of ipods will use OLEDs. From what i gather they use less power than LCD screens, glow (so backlighting isn't needed) and are capable of displaying in colour.
I've always wanted a portable that was capable of voice recording... as have many other people. The fun that can be had with this is off the chart. Anyway, let me move more towards the point.
Apple recently launched the iSight: a wonderful webcam, with much higher resolutions than your average webcam and a built in mic, that interfaces with the mac through a... firewire port.

OK here's the idea.

what if apple was to allow users to connect an iSight with an iPod. It would be a true portable webcam, and the iPod's screen would be just the right size. It would be a lot like a built in mic only much more cooler. Thats it folks.

Cheers

That would be cool if it uses OLED's but it's to new but it's supposed to be thinner(1mm).

And theres and MP3 player like that also, Archos MJB AV300 series ( www.archos.com ). Except it's qquite bigger then the iPod and more expensive (599$ us for the player, 20 gig, 659$ for the 40 gig, and 299 for the camera, 3.3 megapixels and 3x optical zoom. Don't know too much about the video options but i suppose it would be the same. And it's allows (i think) MP$ playback if not, it includes software to convert it to avi.

Also, it can record video with the special device that comes with it off of TV's and such sources and has built in voice recorder.
