I think some DJ company makes a thing where you can use two iPOds + mixer to break it down funky like. looks pretty cool. but don't get me started about desired feature lists for these things.

2 bad mice bombscare is a good record. I think that a good response to your lament would be an ipod scripting language. There's already a hack to run linux on an ipod - http://www.ipodlinux.org - so I don't see why the more inventive of us couldn't open up the platform some other creative uses...
Yeah, iPods are booty. Apple's just good at advertising, that's all. My usability complaints are too long to list. They look pretty, but it's not like their software is any better than half the hordes of other (much cheaper) multimedia jukeboxes out there. Laptop + Winamp is still the best "mobile" music solution at this point for me.
laptop + winamp... mihai thats just ridiculous. i'm envisioning one of those uber-hip ipod commercials with a bright color background and mihai's black silhouette trying to dance while holding his enormous eyesore of a dell laptop only to accidentally lose his grip on his "best mobile music solution" and drop it on the ground ;)

Anyways, one thing's for sure. This guy is elite:
