Most people believe, that such device should be a combination of modern mobile phone and an iPod. If this proposed device will retain the click-wheel, then I would like to see this functionality: dial number with click-wheel. Just like an old analogue phone, you would have to turn click-wheel until the right number will appear on screen.
This is amazingly precise in comparison with pressing tiny, non-rectangular buttons with no tactile feedback.
But it is way too old-fashioned for Apple. Some Japanese company with fascination for retro perhaps...
