As with all their devices, Apple future-proofs their market by making things obsolete with each generation.

Wireless bluetooth would have been the icing on the cake but that was too much to ask from apple then.

As an added bonus, you can show your photos on your car display screen from the ipod as well. I recommend this nugget to anyone who doesnt want to deal with cloud storage or blowing thru your data cap just listening to music. Sound through my vehicle speakers is great, and if later on I want to watch podcast videos, or any other content I so chose, Ill buy the video c able and replace the one i got now. The screen is vibrant and after formatting the hard drive (which I wholly recommend, even if you are using itunes to re-initialize the whole device later, everything is working fine. Nevertheless, the device is in good shape. Why didnt I buy one when they first came out? Lack of foresight. Why did apple ever stop making these? I will never know. I wanted to be able to listen to any / all of my music at all times and the only way to do this effectively was to get myself this little bugger and connect it to my stereo / dvd player. I purchased this ipod to finally scratch the itch I have been having ever since I upgraded the sound system on my truck. Source: Audiolab CDT-6000 Cambridge Audio 840C.Good buy, but pricey.
