Verizon to produce iPhone killer?

[incognegro]

i've been thinking about the next-gen iPod.

i'd rather it NOT be like the iPhone. why?

i can adjust volume, skip songs, basic functions, WITHOUT looking at the iPod.
in other words, by touch.

the iPhone & new iPods (if they follow the form factor) won't be navigable by touch, like while driving or jogging.

just my take on it.
