It would take forever to sync your iPod with your Mac over Bluetooth. Airport would take less time, but you'd need the network set up. And I doubt Bluetooth would have enough bandwidth to stream music, as others have stated, unless the iPod sampled the files down in realtime as it streamed them. Malex: The rumored iTunes 5 will supposedly support Windows Media files, so the next version of the iPod may support them as well. And I believe you mean the 40 GB iPod...

The range could be short, because the justification for wireless would be that you simply wouldn't have to plug anything in until your battery gets low. (Except for headphones of course). I got the idea when I was crawling under a desk looking for the firewire port on the back of a mac at work. What a pain. Just to use the iPod as a drive to grab one file from my desktop. If I had wireless, I could have just turned on the iPod and transferred the info wirelessly. Because I was out with friends and knew this stop was happening, I had to carry that wire around with me all day. Music transfer would also be very cool. I could see turning the wireless feature on and off with a toggle switch or even a menu item in the GUI. And I guess my point is that range really isn't an issue. Because you'd want to be up and close. You wouldn't want to be in the next room or anything.

So, the verdict is: Not right now. Bluetooth is clearly too slow to synch your iPod, WiFi is too complex for the tiny device right now - as well as much slower, anyway... If you really want to 'stream' your iPod's music: Just add an FM-add on that sends your music through the radio. ;-) iTrip is good, I hear. As for the features I'd want in the next iPod: _Integrated_ mic for voice recording. Better yet: Stereo microphone, adjustable in software for room recordings. I want to record my reading sessions like that... :P And yes: An FM receiver would be great. Recording should also be enabled, of course.

I fully agree with fryke: stereo directonal mike, recording... and the possibility to connect a camera with USB to download the pictures to the HD (no card reader.... just the camera interface) ! 400 MB/s wireless... this can be done with laser diodes. Don't expect it to be low-power in any near future.
