What are these rumored impovements in the ipod 2 - better multimedia capabilities? Are they going to put Flash 10.1 on it. The Android 2.2 has Flash 10.1, and it works well. Are there other formats the ipod can’t currently play? Presumably the new ipod will have hdmi out so the ipod can be connected with the big tv. Many androids costing around $250 have the hdmi out currently with the ability to play all sorts of movie formats over to the tv.

There is NO WAY that Flash will be part of the iPad. The iPad doesn't handle Java, I believe. There are 30-pin dongles already to hook up the iPad/iPod Touch to a big screen.
