No, it's not the battery life. Well, yes, the battery life does indeed bug me, but that's not what I'm referring to.
I wish there was an easier way to undock the iPod. When it's connected to my PC, the controls are locked out and it says, "Do not disconnect" or ...

I just read an article that says that Sony is building in the ability to order (real) pizza directly into its videogames. This is a very cool idea. Unfortunately, I don't play a lot (read: my XBox is collecting dust) of videogames. Now, if Microsoft or Sun would build this ...
