The iPods of the Future

The Iwatch:
The ultimately portable watch would have a secondary function of music. It would be able to measure heart rate and other running related information.
It would be a runner’s dream, a watch with everything they need which would also play music. It would be extremely portable and hard to loose. It would be waterproof too, so swimmers could use its groundbreaking technology and amazing features.
With the rim of the watch screen creating the click wheel and the screen in the middle, you have to press the screen for the enter button. It would be the size of a GShock watch, but a lot more stylish. It would come in white and silver with an iPod shuffle sized memory. The earphones would have to be wireless, or the wires would get in the way. It would hold 1500 songs.

The iPod Stick:
The click wheel is replaced by a twisting motion of the end piece, called the twist wheel. There is no screen, like the shuffle and it is just wider than the earphone plug in. the memory can hold over 1200 songs and to pause/play you push in the twist wheel. A scroll on the stick allows you to fast forward or rewind a song, and the twist wheel controls the volume.
You can also get an extension of memory which elongates the stick by plugging into the earphone port. The extension has another earphone port for your headphones.

The Head Pod:
The headphones have one large earphone, where the memory is, and one smaller earphone. The Headphone can store 3000 songs and even doubles as a phone. Microphones in the earphone pick up the sounds of your voice saying numbers and it dials automatically. To answer a phone call, you just press on the earpiece.

The Iye:
The Iye is a ball which has an enter button that resembles an iris. The click wheel is replaced by groundbreaking technology. The back half of the ball is able to spin.
The Iye’s earphones are wireless.
It would hold around 2000 songs and be the size of a human eye. The button can be coloured to resemble your own eyes colour. Later versions include the Glass eye replacement, where you can actually place the Iye in your eye socket.

Ipaper:
Electronic paper which is the size of an iPod classic. With a memory of up to 3000 songs and 12 hours of video, it is touch screen as well. This is essentially the thinnest iPod ever, and also the replacement to the iPod touch.
With the ability to slip into micro cracks, it comes with a built in tracking beacon to help you find it. Earphones are wireless.

iPod Gloves:
Put on the thin waterproof gloves (comes with winter thick as well) and make different hand signals to choose different things. For example, make a triangle using your hands and that’s play. Two index fingers straight in the air means pause. To adjust volume, hold one index finger in the desired change (up or down) and move the other hand slowly in that direction. This gives you better control over the adjustments. It can hold 3000 songs and extras include a back of hand screen and one glove only. The have Wireless earphones.

The iShades:
Sexy styled glasses with all new technology. The screen appears on the screen and using eye motion you can choose your song. Volume is adjusted by closing the left eye and moving the right eye up or down. Closing both eyes for two seconds pauses the song, and the same to restart it. The glasses do actually work, and future plans to have Ilens have already begun. The glasses have earphones out of the ends of them. They can hold up to 2600 songs.

The Icube:
A box which will revolutionize the home desktop, it unfolds into a 19” Mac computer, or can just stay as a portable stereo system in a box. It can be refolded into different shapes and can be refolded into a flat shape for storage. The instructions come with a full folding manual. It can be 5 different things at the same time, plus the extra screens folded inside for the Mac. The storage capacity is 230GB and a whopping 20,000 songs, 100 hours of video and multiple other features. See-through mode makes the box appear see-through.
This is also the worlds leading games console when bought with an extra gaming screen.

I hope you enjoyed what could come from apple, and feel free to post your own ideas.
