4G Ipod

Get the 3gen now. The deals for the 2nd and 3rd are great now so getting one is a steal but support for the 2nd is well alittle slow to none at all with most going to the 3G and possible 4G. I think the 4gen may come out in late 2004 but that is just a guess.

Bigger harddrive(40-80):yes

Cheaper price:not a chance

Wireless an or Bluetouch useable:maybe

Color LCD:maybe but it would make it a higher price and right now apple wants to stay simple on design.

Better packaging(onboard and inbox):yes

Better battery life:well....Let say if they come up with a better battery back design than Belkin yes.

A REAL OFF BUTTON THAT IS NOT JUST PAUSE THAN SLEEP:.........I may need the crystal ball for this one.

Built in tuner:yes but I don't need if I have over a 1000 songs to listen and the news is always bad anyway.

Multi-media in/outputs(watch most movies files on tv):Could be

This is all just guesses not fact but hey this could happen.
