Mac Rumors has an interesting analysis of one of Apple's patents. The widely "rumored about" new full screen, virtual clickwheel video iPod could make use of an active, touch-sensitive border bezels that would allow one to control the ipod without smudging the whole screen like it would inevitably do with a virtual clickwheel on it.
At the same time that I find that idea feasible, apple's clickwheel model has some really great advantages; namely that you can scroll "forever" without stopping, unlike what horizontal or vertical bars would offer... maybe it would sense a back and forth movement as one continuous movement, the same as going round and round with a clickwheel?
