Respectfully, I would suggest that a solution that 1) requires knowledge of javascript, 2) is not transportable to non-windows mobile platforms, 3) and is inherently non-optimizable so if you have the same image 5x in your screens you need to download it 5 times is neither easily deployable nor efficient.
There are much better options out there that address all of those situations, if you go with windows-mobile platforms, but also have webserver support if you're wedded to an iPod.
I documented my personal setup at http://www.myhometheaterpc.com/ , but that's by no means the only look&feel - matter of fact, many folks using the same software I did have opted for an entirely different UI. I can control all of this over the Cingular network, so the efficiency bit noted above is important to have usable screens that don't require 45-90seconds to download.
But you are right - it is exciting that more options abound. If you're willing to be a programmer, this is a good path.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
