Tomorrow’s iPod event

Word on the street is that iTunes 8 is being released tomorrow.  How about some WiFi media syncing?  Having to connect my iPod to my PC to sync music just seems so unnecessary.  Since I’ve got my USB cable plugged into the little power adaptor beside my bed for night-time charging, syncing my media requires some behind-the-nightstand cable retrieval followed by some blind cable plugging in when I’m all done.  It’s just a matter of time before I plug myself into the socket instead of my iPhone. Every time I sync music, I have to ask myself ‘Is this worth me risking my life?’.  One day, that answer may be no.

Now, it’s not THAT big of a deal, but the technology is there (see: Zune) so they should just make it happen.  Having things like podcasts automatically transferred over at night would be fantastic.  In fact, my iPhone should be doing a lot more things while I sleep, like crunching the latest figures or balancing the books.
