Apple's iPod Camera Connector lets you attach a USB cable from a camera
(or card reader, I think, but then what's the point?) directly to the
dock connector port on a supported iPod:

The compatibility chart there mentions color & video iPods, and the
current Nano & iPod Classic, but I *think* it also worked with older
Nanos, too. It doesn't work with iPhone though, and if iPod Touch is
basically the same device, then it won't work there either.

That's too bad, because this adapter is super-handy for downloading to
the iPods it does work on, and it would be nice to be able to flick
through the photos on the larger screen & nicer UI. I'm not really aware
of any other product that tries to do this at all.

Oh well...
