If you have one of the newer iPods with 8GB+ you might want to consider putting all the information of Wikipedia on it for fast reference.

This could also be useful on your holiday trip if you want to quickly lookup information about a place, location or historical fact.

Add Subway maps to your iPod

I don't like those big subway maps that you get for free when you visit cities like London, Paris or New York. They are big, they tell everyone that you are a tourist (attracts criminals) and not that handy if you need a quick answer about a certain subway you need to catch.
