A color iPod will mean a PC version of iPhoto

Here is the reason why I think so:

1) iPod with color screen cannot be only for music... and movie on such small screen are of no interest, the only reason for the (far) future color iPod is to display still pictures (and a 40 GB HD will be a good extension of any still picture camera).
2) iPhoto is not only a picture viewer, but also a link to several services (mostly print services)
3) I am quite sure in a near future is will also be able to buy images from iPhoto on the iPIS (iPhoto Image Store)
4) and therefore the $$$ will ask for a PC version of iPhoto

QED

With a small high resolution screen, good contrast...

because the ipod is a music player

because anyone with a digital camera already has a little screen to look at their pictures on

because there are too many storage formats out there for an ipod to accept pictures from a camera without extra accessories, which already exist

because itms is a vehicle for selling ipods and only works because of the drm, if your 'ipis' images were only viewable on the ipod the concept doesnt make sense

I can probably think of more

I was thinking about a screen the size of a regular picture print (10x15 cm2).

Most camera can download to iPhoto through USB, so either one use iPhoto like iTunes and the reference library remains on the Mac, or the iPod can USB connect with the camera to download the image as an intermediate storage.

DRM exists for a long time for images (maybe even for longer time than on music).
