iPod, schmyPod… is putting a camera in an MP3 player really an innovation?

Let’s face it, the answer is no. Great marketing move? Yes, but I want more.

I want an embedded cochlear audio player. Put that thing in my ear.

Make it 3G based (with easy firmware upgrades via the same network or via bluetooth from my laptop, so i can support the latest high speed networks). Let me stream my library or favorite service wherever I go. Make it respond to voice commands. No, better yet… thought command. Maybe have it automatically select songs depending on visual input or give it an accelerometer so it knows when I’m running and will play the theme from Rocky and not the John Denver & the Muppets Christmas album (I have a 2 year old ya know…).

I will sign up for this. I’ll even pay for the procedure out of pocket.

Does this exist? I can’t find it.
