Well, I can't see the iPod in it's currewnt hardware design being too much more than what it already is. Me and others on the list have already gone arround the horn on that one. As for the moniker "iPod" being attached to an expanding line of devices, that would perhaps bring back the days of producct line conffusion that jobs criticised upon his return to Apple. During his return, things have been simplified. iMac has always been iMac. Cube was Cube. That being said, I definitely think that a modular expandibility would be great, however, the iPod would need a redesign (requiring built-in date and text entry, for starters.)
