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.
