Continuing my search, I found a nice little app on google code that should work nicely for viewing pdf's stored on the iPhone/iPod: MobilePreview. It's also listed (and installable from) modmyiphone. MobileFinder is also available over there.

I agree that 8/16GB isn't as large as I'd like, I don't know of any other wifi PDA that can handle 16GB (and has a decent webbrowser). Besides, most TV shows seem to come in around 300MB and well compressed movies are 1-2GB. So I can have my top 1000 songs, a few TV shows, and a movie, with plenty of storage left over for files & web browsing cache. Sounds a lot better to me than another T|X (mine recently died) with a 2GB SD card. I guess I'm already used to having to choose what's on my iPod, my music library is over 260GB, with another 40GB in TV shows and movies (100% legal!). So the classic is nice, but I'd still have to pick and choose what goes on it.

Here's another question: is there Java support on the touches (from now on I'll use that term to refer to both the ipod & phone)? I wonder if we could hack the java version of mobipocket onto the touches? That would be nice!
