OK,
Now we have WiFi, Bluetooth, internet ready devices all over the place. I get it and they are definitely taking over. With iCloud, Apple has provided a way for their customers to access all of their purchases without having to store them on their iPhone/iPod/etc.
Still, my experience with iCloud is that it is not available all the time and can tend to be slow.
I propose an 8th Gen iPod Classic with present-day technology. If they could make a thinner, single-hard drive 160GB model back in 2009 surely they could make a 320GB model now. They could use the same operating system and clickwheel and if they chose to add WiFi they could do so. They could improve the screen by enlarging it (not by much, but a little) and further develop its resolution and brightness.
I still have my iPod Classic and use it regularly. What if Apple chose to produce one last iPod Classic as a retro collectible and test whether the product was still viable?
They are still in demand. Used Classics on eBay or Craigslist go for over 50% of the retail cost.
What do others think?
