Hopefully this will be fun

I'm looking for some advice.  I have some money to spend and I want to spend it.  lol.I have a my digital music on my computer, which currently is wired to my xbox360 and i use the media extender capability to stream all my stuff.  Great.However, I want to do better.  What I want is a touch screen jukebox to run my music instead of having to go through the xbox.  I was thinking about getting an IPad when they come out, and a bluetooth adapter for my receiver, but I don't think the range will be good enough as I want to take the IPad outside by the pool and all.  At one point I was thinking about just buying a touchscreen and mounting it near my stuff, and having an old laptop which file folder synched my music library.  That isn't mobile though, I was really excited about the possibility of having a mobile touch screen that could drive my music.  Any cool ideas?
