The Clickwheel is Boring!

The clickwheel has been in the iPods since the first generation iPod mini!!
It is so outdated! Even the concept of a wheel has been around since the first gen iPod!
They need to change SOMETHING about it, maybe just a little tweak. I remember seeing on MacRumors that they filed for a patent to make the entire clickwheel a touch-sensitive area, so people could use gestures and other things.
That's what I'm talking about! Except I don't like just patents, I want to see it happen!

So true. Multitouch is the way to go. I had the classic a while back and ditch it right after the touch came out. Soon, multitouch will also be outdated. But the wheels need to GOOOO!!

I disagree. I love the fact that I can pause, rewind, and change the volume on the iPod while it's in my pocket. With touch screens I have to fumble around to get it out of my pocket.
