This is mostly just a question of curiosity... I am assuming of course that the iPod is basically a simple little computer designed expressly for the purpose of playing back mp3's, and to serve as data storage. So, under this assumption, I would have to guess that there is a processor in there somewhere. Does anyone know what kind and how fast the processor is? I have looked in Apple's tech spec listing, but I do not find this information there.
