I thought about doing this, but read reviews that pointed out it takes almost 30 min. to transfer a full 512mb card to the iPod (severely taxing the iPod battery in the process). Although the connection is via a firewire cable, the transfer is not done at firewire speeds. I suppose that if you're only dealing with small numbers of jpegs the slow speed would not be a hinderance, but if you shot a large number of jpegs or even a moderate number of RAW files, you could be in for a long wait to free up your memory cards again.
