I don't see it happening, but if they threw in an FM tuner, I'd be a whole lot happier. I agree with Galley’s Hi-Fi 2.0.

Notice that there's no longer a way to purchase one on the page. I recall seeing one retailer had dropped the price to $299 already.

The reason why is that if they were going to scap it, the product page would have been gone already... also, on the iPod/iTunes page, they updated the Hi-fi picture with an iPod Classic inserted...

The sound is awesome. Actually, I have never used it with an iPod - it's the speakers for my Mac mini and Powerbook G4. I wanted one as soon as I saw it. I love my iPod Hi-Fi. The sound is awesome.

Here's what I'd like to see: Integrated AirPort express, with the iPhone and iPod touch acting as controllers. Drop the battery option; I doubt anyone used it. Reduce the price to $200. I'd love to have one, but they are simply too expensive for what they are. My $114 Griffin Amplifi was a steal. Perhaps they will soon introduce the iPod Hi-Fi 2.0. Here’s what I’d like to see:
