      I assume that these new FW chips will find their way into the next 
   upgrade of the iPods some time this year?  So I can put off buying on 
   for yet another year.  My first gripe, no touch-screen, so no 
   possibility of good input.  Now, the FW chip will presumably soon be 
   able to be host, so keyboards can be hooked up..

Looking forward to that day!  I guess it is theoretically possible
with the mini right now though?  

It is amazing that there seems to be no small platform extant with
onboard USB keyboard support. (If I'm wrong about this, let me
know.)

Any updates on the possibilities for typing/xmodmap/Emacs on iPod
(or mini) would be very much appreciated.
