They make a wireless charging case for the iphones and ipod touches. 
Basically it's a case that goes over the phone and allows you to set
the phone / ipod on a "charging mat" which come in a few different
shapes and sizes. 

I picture using one of these on a end table, and just always returning
the ipod touch to that mat when not in use.  Another option is to buy a
docking station, very similar to how the controller docs.  This is how
I'm currently charging mine, I just return it to the dock.

You can find some pretty good prices on docks at dealextreme

I'm currently using this one with an ipod touch 2g and a 1g (both can
be found used for under $100)  I did have to use a dremmel tool to make
the ipods fit in this dock since it's designed for a iphone which is a
little different size, however that site offers docks that will work
without modifications, I just needed on that shape and size to mount on
the wall.
