Im amazied with ''I-Pods'' If you would have told me, before they came out and said that they can hold so many songs, on such a small case thing, I would not belive you.

Now, they have I-Pods that take pictures, You know were this is going - I would guess in the next few years we will see a I-Pod, Camera, Cellphone...It may not be by Mac, Maybe some co cellphone co. Might create it....Now. Don't go spreding this around, as I have no clue if its real or not, I dident read it anywere Its just what I think will happen.

Will you buy one if something like this came out?

Yea, It would cost a ton

But I would want one!

i think we will see this happening soon cos there are now phones that can hold a full movie i think we will be able to do everything with our phones and ipods soon i mean u can go on the net watch movies play 3d games and mp3players all on your phone what next usein ur phone 2 control the TV and Cd player

i think the next big thing will be the PSP i seen on gamespot.com that u mite be able to send e-mails go on the net and use it to send texts and make phone calls that little thing goin 2 be great
just think you can go and post on trap17 when your sat on the bus lol

Well since you can already play duke nukem on some phones and some other rpg's I don't think it will be long before you can play some of the more advanced rpgs. There are some newer phones that have special tv channels for that phone. Every year they get a little bit more sofisticated. Who knows knows what will come next.

well now they have th ROKR and The SLVR which all have itunes compatability, so yeah its it an iPod, Camera, Cellphone and more all in one, but they don't give you the deals where if you sign up they give u the phone its more like pay $100 get the phone then sign up. I don't think I will be buyuing one any time soon, just because it can hold 25 songs (ROKR) and my iPod can hold thousands.

I agree with the first post on this thread. It is amazing how technology is evolved like it has.
I, also, wouldn't have believed that something like an ipod would have existed a few years ago. Now though, there are all kinds of music players and walkmans available.

I feel that the ipod, camera and cellphone all in one would be available easily within the next few years. I'm sure this wouldn't be all that was included. At the rate the technology is currently improving, this is pretty basic. We'll soon have robots running around and doing our washing up and other household tasks.

The only thing that could affect how many people have these new forms of technology is cost. At first, when things first come out, shops and the manufacturers charge as much as they can in the hope that they get a lot of money from new products they've just invented.

I suppose only time will tell though. Will be interesting to see which way technology will go next.

I agree that having your interests mobile is great. but when you start using them in the car while driving, it becomes unsafe.
Technology has advance further in the last 20 years then it has in all of history.
What will happen in another 10 years? Worm hole traveling, space flights every day,etc?

Apple will make something incredible next again, but they are doomed for extinction.

I don't get an Ipod though because I would only use it when I travel long distances and for that I have my laptop so I can listen to music anyway. You really don't need that many songs held because your probably won't even listen to them each 3 times. You will pick only a few that you want to listen to but I guess it also depends on the person. I liseten to them all in order and then go back to the place I left off. I am sure that especially when the Microsoft Zune comes out Mac will come out with a camera with your Ipod to hold thousands of pictures. They already have it incorporated on cell phones so it won't be long.

I think it would be great if everything was combined into one. That way, you won't have to carry around a separate camara, cell phone, mp3 player, etc around. But the quality probably won't be as good if they're all combined into one. And yes, it would cost a ton. I'm not sure if I would buy one.

Mobile Phones that can play Mp3's are increasingly available, although I would not personally refer to them as an iPod Phone (not even the iTunes compatible ones) but they certainly allow the user to listen to digital music, hell you can even get phones that will play videos too, and I'm sure I heard about an 8GB mp3 phone a while ago, but I don't kniow any of the details of that. In my opinion convergance can only be a good thing, it increases the value of a certain product and allows for greater functionality and flexibility which are returned to the user by way of savings (in that these convergant devices are able be sold for less than the total of all the individual devices) but they are also good for the consumer in that they have increased convenience due to the fact that you have to carry less stuff. the way convergance is going I would expect to see some for of small and lightwaight multipurpose device soon. the ultra mobile PC, may be an answer to this in that they can pretty much run anything a PC can, therefore audio, video, voip, internet access, hell even solitaire all in the palm of your hands, sure if we could get this down to the size of a mobile phone that would be amazing, I would certainly buy one.
