The Belkin voice recorder accessory is really nice, but in addition to the recording functionality being folded into the iPod itself, I'd like to to see voice-to-text implemented seamessly on the mac side. Record notes, dock the ipod and you most recent voice memos are downloaded to the mac and run through the voice recognition software to create written notes. In the same vein, it would be neat to record hand written notes (bluetooth enable pen with 3D MEMS sensor?) on the pod and have them converted to text on the mother ship upon docking.

  I'd like to see Dolby Headphone implemented for iPods and also for DVD Player.

  Also I still think that the iPod has many of the pieces to create an iPhone. With GSM on a chip it couldn't be too hard to shoehorn a phone into an iPod form factor.

  With contacts already in the iPod, you could use the dial as an input device to 'dial' numbers and with the headset you have a hands free operation with the addition of a microphone to the head set...
  
  Then there would be one less bit of kit to carry around and an iPod would really become indispensible.

  You guys read my mind. I have been using Dolby Headphone technology with PowerDVD and really rocks.
  
  Encoding the tracks previously is not an option if you play your tunes also through speakers. Something like a "sound enhancement" option will be perfect. Dolby Headphone options in iTunes would make the perfect pair.
  
  Also believe an iGadget (iPod + Phone + Organizer + Camera) is not on the market for commercial reasons, There is no technical limitations.
