The iPod Touch is backlit. The issue with a touch screen is that it doesn't allow enough light to make a reflective-only screen visible in most lighting situations. That being said, I don't know if the iPod Touch uses the same kind of touch screen that other systems (e.g. the eBookwise 1150) have used. The only device I can think of offhand that was fairly readable in ambient light and included a touchscreen was the Newton Messagepad, which was quite expensive at the time.
