From what I understand, you can install a different OS on an iPod so you're not tethered to iTunes.

I have an iPod Mini and an iPod Nano and love both of them.. I definitely want the new Nano, too. I use a MacBook Pro, though, and love iTunes (especially the new Genius feature), so I don't really empathize with your wants.
