Remember the “color changing case” patent that Apple picked up about a year ago? Someone can probably link to it. That would be very cool, but probably too much battery power for an iPod. Might be in the next iMac, however…

I hear you about Nintendo. The smartest thing they ever did with the gameboy is to keep the black and white screen until they could maintain battery life and backwards compatibility.
What Nintendo did with the Gameboy was absolute genious. It outlasted hundreds of competitors many of which were technically superior (Game Gear to name one) and is still kicking ass.
