Lets see if Japanese can challenge the ipod. Also cell-phone commerce is popular in Japan and it makes lot of sense to add this functionality to phone rather than going the other way around. I am not a very big fan of Apples propritery format and prefer WMA. I think if ipod phone gets sexier in it’s looks, wi-fi enabled ipod will be a flop. Lets see if Japanese can challenge the ipod.

We track all iPod accessories and publish them in Pod Mania (on newsstand Oct 05). We also make information available on line at http://www.DigitalMania-Online.com There are some good piggy back battery solutions (add up to 400 hours of play time) and more coming. With Video iPod, I expect we'll see many more solutions. I was just shown a small device (fits all iPods) that will recharge your iPod five times before it needs recharging itself. I will post this as soon as I have permission. Power is a limiting factor in active iPod use and will be especially so in video use.

Their strengths are in incorporating services with technology well and in marketing. That said, I don't see a wifi-enabled ipod coming out until someone figures out how to build one that doesn't suck up so much battery power. More and more signs point to Apple coming out with a wifi/UMA smartphone that could access the iTunes music and video store.
