A touch screen would make it really easy to show things in any configuration.  Obviously the horizontal view would be best for most video playback.

A "virtual clickwheel" would appear wherever the user touch on the screen.  The opacity of the virtual clickwheel would be a user preference.  The mock-up above showed what it would look like at 25% and 50%.  The image below shows the wheel's opacity at 100%.

We'll play around with some user interface ideas the rest of the day and post more mock-ups later :-)  We now need to go get some food.

As you can see...there are LOTS of other folks who can mock things up MUCH better than we can  :-)  Thanks for sharing!!!

2. From PixelMojo...

There are some rumors floating around the web that Apple will be releasing a new Video iPod with a full screen. 

It was also rumored that the click wheel will be done via software on a touch sensitive screen.

The folks here at RainyDayMagazine thought that should be simple enough to mock-up...so here it is :-)

Send us ideas and mock-ups (NO stolen pics from Apple...PLEASE!), we'll post 'em.
