I just had an idea off the top of my head yesterday and I figured I'd share it.
I was thinking about the nether reset. My buddies and myself were talking about how this would make the nether fun because we could keep exporing new nethers in our world that we've worked on for god knows how long and then it came to me.
What if we could high light areas and reset the whole main world except for...a high lighted area, say...around your house down to the bed rock?
I'm not sure how this would effect gameplay and how the survival community would preseve this. But myself personally, I've only worked on one world my whole time. Every time an update comes along I have to hope that there will be some way I can take advantage of it.
And the possibility of keeping my work and having more to expore (without infianite worlds being a possibility) this just seemed right : )
Yeah been brought up before. .I also thought of this.... even when the 1.8.2 update came out and the chunks/biomes loaded on Un-Explored areas... people described it as terrain that was "cut by a knife".. I can imagine that it's doable.. but.. a man can dream right?

It's unlikely that the reset nether option will produce a randomly different nether every time you opt to reset. It will mostly likely generate the nether that is associated with that seed for that update and generate it repeatedly until a new update changes the terrain generation formula. Otherwise, the whole idea of seed strings producing duplicate worlds on generation has to be tossed out the window. Unlikely, since the game has been based on seeds since it's Alpha days on PC.

I've also heard that 4j wants to take minecraft 360 in a different route from the PC...so anything is possible.

There's taking it in a different direction; i.e. not copying the PC exactly... and then there's rewriting the game entirely. Yes, you and OverlookeDEnt can dream and call me a pessimist; but I'd bet that you're interpreting the "reset nether" option to be something different than it will be; and therefore, expanding it to the overworld in a manner that's just never gonna happen.
If they do implement a "reset" of a section of overworld terrain, you will probably just get whatever terrain is for that particular seed for the current update version. reseting again and again during the same version won't give you randomly new and different terrain each time, it will give you the same replacement terrain until you reset after an update changes the terrain generation formula. After TU9, we have, as far as anyone knows, only one more terrain generation change left - jungles. If the world is generated after that addition, any reset would probably just keep replacing the terrain with the same terrain. It might erase any changes the player has made, but that would be it. It might have been nice if something had been implemented before all these terrain changes were made; but this late in the game, I don't think it'll be really worth that much.
I don't know about you, but the XBOX is more powerful than most of those devices. It beats iPod, iPhone, but the android devices have quite a bit of power though. My nexus 7 is twice the Xbox's power. Xbox can handle larger worlds and I know it. iPod is beat because I heard Xbox has a tri-core processor, while iPod only has dual core. My nexus is quad core and 1 GB of ram, compared to iPod and Xbox's 512 MB of ram. Xbox can handle it and I know it. Also, people can mod their Xbox, without making hardware better, to play PC edition, and it still plays it at a good 50-60 fps.

I doubt this, considering it's made on a complete different system. Can you provide a link or something to confirm this?

I'm sure this would be very hard to execute.
Has this been thought of? what do you think?

He said that he will try to make infinite worlds on the pocket edition.....What The HECK? HOW?
Since you can't do it on xbox then how would you make it infinite on pocket edition??
He said it in Minecon.

On topic, I completely agree
