Before, MP3 Players only progressed by their own functions. A new product was dictated by more functions, until they were a mess. iPod helped clean that up, and whilst the iPod is still rather feature filled, I believe the future of MP3 players (or more accurately PMPs) will be dictated by the advancements in the industry, and not always advancements in the functionality.
Movies in iTunes for example. They only need add a bigger screen and you have a new model.

Lastly, the iPod cash cow is limited. These growth rates are not sustainable; soon everybody who wants an iPod will have one. The public can only be tricked into buying a new iPod on a year basis for so long
True. Until they put in an FM tuner/transmitter. And after that, erm.. well, a touch screen. And then, umm.. recording? And then some other stuff
They'll be milking for a while longer is my guess
