As Robert once said,
Rafal,
If I remember right the pictures the iPod is showing are very small pictures, i.e. you can't have pictures from your digital camera and the iPod shows you thumbnails of them. Also you can't change the size of the pictures. It always shows 5x5=25 thumbnails. Correct me if I am wrong because I'd like to be wrong on this....
Robert
It shows you the thumbnails for browsing, same as the Canon DSLRs (3x3), and then you can view them in a slideshow mode as well (on-screen or externally w/ included cables).
Bill: If you're looking for something that will import pictures and display them on the fly, Michael Reichman has reviewed the Epson P-2000 which sounds like it has many of the features as the iPod photo (at the same price per storage), minus the cool interface for playing and managing music, but with the ability to atually import pics from flash cards and display them.

I bought a P-2000 recently, and am very happy with it. I had an X-drive that I had to install my own drive into ($79US for the X-drive and $120 for the 40Gb HD) which worked reasonably well as soon as you realized some of the quirks, but it was rather slow, needed recharging after downloading about 4Gb and had no screen and minimal controls and blinking lights.
The P-2000 can read the CR2 files from the 1D MkII and 20D, although it cannot magnify them. Jpegs can be magnified for detailed examination, and the screen is truly gorgeous for it's size. It's also fast, with file to file viewing without any real lag. It can read some movie formats, but seems somewhat limited in this regard. It's also a bit picky with respect to MPEG formats, so while it can be used as an MPEG player, it's not all that convenient. Its forte is image files from digital cameras, and for that it's a lot better than anything, definitely including the Nikon.
It's great for a weekend or weeklong shoot, depending on number of images and what you need to do. If you have a good laptop and can carry that with you, it's still probably a better choice, but if the laptop is too big, the Epson is hard to beat at this time.
