While I haven't used the Nokia, I cannot offer a viable opinion except that a) it's going to be a lot heavier & larger than the Touch, b) it will probably run hotter, and c) it's battery life won't match the Touch either (though it's been suggested that you can buy a few extra batteries and swap out when low). If you're looking for the sheer number of file formats, you can't go wrong with the Nokia, after all, it is a full-fledged, though slightly neutered laptop.

Lastly, don't forget about instant-on as opposed to waiting for the Nokia, or other Internet Tablet/UMPC, to boot.

I can confirm (as a Nokia 770 and Touch user) that:
a) the Nokia is slightly bigger and slightly heavier than the Touch - hardly surprising; you do get a bigger display.
b) the Nokia doesn't run hot at all (and certainly not when reading books, which isn't very processor intensive).
c) battery life isn't too bad - about 5-6+ hours in my experience.
d) Nokia is instant-on, and will sit idle for days or a week or so. Just touch the screen and it comes to life instantaneously. Of course, just like the Touch, you can turn it completely off (and I'll bet that nobody does that to their ipod, they probably don't even know how) but the ipod takes just as long to start as the Nokia.
