Wayne, I understand what you mean about being too afraid of breaking your iPod touch to use it like you would your 'beater' iPod mini. A good protective case would alleviate this concern, though.

As for not being able to delete files from the iPod itself, I accidentally discovered that you can delete videos by sliding your finger L to R along the title-half of a video listing, which then brings up a red 'delete' box.
