Just read this BBC new article about the new iPod - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6980451.stm. Apple have announced that they are overhauling the entire iPod range to include touch screens and wi-fi connections - http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/.
It should be interesting to use once they are available. Being connected on the move to public wi-fi hotspots would enable people to browse the web (of course apple suggest you buy new music on the move) and access info. Educationally this would make the iPod much more flexible than at the moment where you have to connect to a computer to get new information onto the device.
