Rumor: Apple touch bezel, not touchscreen for video iPod

Has the click wheel seen the end of it’s days? Has Apple gotten so tired of companies ripping off their idea of putting a direction mouse pad on their DAP for navigational purposes, that they are pulling it off? Is a touch bezel the only solution that will allow for a 4” video iPod? Or is this just another crazy iPod rumor?

My guess is that what you see above is a combination of all four. What? I can’t accept all four rumored ideas? Why not I created them…

It appears that Apple found that putting the touch control on the edges of the screen is a lot more feasible than putting the touch sensors under a video screen. They also give the ability of more control, now that you can essentially offer more options for users to select.
