iPod Touch = Novel MB Controller?

[Xzin]

I recently picked up an iPod Touch for $200 and am looking for a creative solution to use it as an input device (8 GB is far too small to hold music). It has wi-fi, multitouch and a backlit screen. You can jailbreak them and run VNC on it to do remote desktop... perhaps use it to swap to one of four PiP screens (but I don't software box). I already have a dedicated X-Keys Pro for music genre selection and a Desktop for my VOIP dialpad as well as a few Powermates for volume control.... I have a few vague ideas of what I can use this for but not sure yet. Display chat windows? Use it for the integrated armory application?

Anybody have any suggestions?

It's hard to leverage the multitouch interface with WoW since it seems to be specifically written for keyboard and mouse.

It might be nifty tho, if you can control movement of multiple characters using the click-to-move input method centralized onto the multitouch interface.
Basically it'd be WoW with a WC3 movement interface.

What about mapping one of the screens to an overhead view of your characters in game and then being able to click to target AoE spells? Not sure it would have the latency requirements needed for PvP though.

Could also use it as a click on the overhead map to cast AoE, although I think Blizzard nuked that one.

possibly use the accelerometer in some way?
