My wife got me a 4 Gig iPod nano for my birthday! I can listen to music, access iCal calendars, all my contacts, listen to music, keep notes, play games, tranfer files by using it as a portable hard drive, listen to podcasts on the bus, show off pictures of my family and listen to LOUD music. :-) A couple of improvement (predictions for future development?) suggestions:

• » Bluetooth (wireless) earbuds.
• » Infrared file sharing between iPods. (I know, it's a copyright thing. Hopefully that's a hurdle we'll eventually overcome ... when more people come to believe "The more you give, the more you get.")
• » Move and delete files directly on the iPod without having to connect to my computer or iTunes.

This was the best birthday gift ever! I love my wife; for much more than just the nano. ;-)

BTW, does anyone know how to use an iPod to record audio?
