Forgive the crazy question...
Wondering if anyone has a device or technique which would enable you to download camera pics into a ipod on the road. Rather than using a laptop. I figure it is impossible, being the transfer would be USB to firewire, but with so many chip sets for Firewire/USB 2.0......
Thanks,
Mike

Last year I tried finding just such a solution. The best thing I found was the Mind @ Work Digital Wallet. They work great but the battery life isn't so hot.
The company website is: http://www.mindsatwork.net/
You can get the old ones a lot cheaper now that they've changed the case style and interface. I bought a 20GB and it was perfect for a trip. I would suggest getting one of their cases if you buy one. It sucks trying to find the perfect sixed case for the thing.
Good luck, and if you find a way to transfer shots directly to the iPod please post the info here.

I was wondering about the same thing.
Apparently, Apple is working on a new iPod that allows users to connect usb cameras and firewire video cameras to download vids or pics. There would be a color screen, etc. to view them.
However, the reality is that this device doesn't exist so far. I don't think there's a way to do it on the road without potentially damaging the iPod or the device.
I guess Apple would have to develop new iPod software that allows users to directly connect devices and configure the connections, etc.
