The All Seeing All Dancing Totally Wireless Completely Waterproof Next Gen iPod

No, I have no real information, this is simply what I'd like to see.

I've been thinking about the iPod, and where they can go from here. More memory, sure, and more longer battery life. But how to make really interesting changes? Well, waterproofing would be cool. But how? You say? Well, relatively simply.

The current iPods have their (potentially waterproof) shells pierced in 1 or 2 places.

1. Clickwheels; not a problem on touchscreen models
2. Power and sync jack

So you can get rid of the first problem w/ the touchscreen they're already using. But the power and sync? That's harder, except it's not.

Power: Wireless power transmission over short distances and of low amounts isn't hard. It already exists. Just use a small piece of transmission material, you lay your iPod on it, and the juice flows without any wires.

I personally think that mousepads should be made of this stuff, and used to charge wireless mice. Put that together with the next gen of iPods, and Apple could ship some pretty cool mice and pads, which also charge your new iPod...

Sync: gotta have my Firewire/USB, wait, I don't. I have Bluetooth. I WANT Bluetooh in my iPod. I hate dealing with the damn wires to my earbuds. They get pulled out, they get tangled, they get in the way, get rid of them! And I know we can build buds that are wireless. These guys already have. Yes, I know they're $500, but I have no doubt that Steve and the course of time won't significantly and quickly lower the price. And if you don't want to use the Bluetooth standard, I have no doubt that Apple isn't completely capable of developing their own standard, just give us a dongle for our (older or non) Apple systems.

Sooo, you can seal the iPod. Use it in the pool, use it in the rain, keep it in your bag and listen to your wireless headphones.

Think people would pay a bit extra for that? I know I would.
