I have been thinking this since the iPhone was announced. Why dumb-down the iPod? Why not make all future “video” iPods just iPhones without the phone? As people write more AJAX widgets for the iPhone… they will all work on your iPod since the iPod will be running Safari and (this is a stretch) a complete version OSX!
Imagine what we could do if we had mini-computers all running OSX in our shirt pockets? On-screen multi-touch keyboards and, if we are REAL lucky, WiFi connection anywhere it is available.
