It's hard for me to believe that a new video iPod would not have a LOT in common with the iPhone as far as overall appearance and the touch-screen interface. However, if I didn't I would at least expect that any widescreen functionality would be accomplished by making the screen taller and then automatically switching to landscape mode when it is turned sideways a-la iPhone. They are not going to make some ugly wide iPod that doesn't fit all the existing accessories.
