Using an Ipod has it's appeals but as a voice & presentation skills trainer (www.curved-vision.co.uk), I'd caution folks about practicing their presentations on the move (one of your cited advantages). Delivering presentations is a practical thing, not an intellectual thing - that means that (unless you've got shed-loads of experience etc.) you should always ALWAYS practice out loud. Otherwise you'll not find the places where your word-combinations are harder; you'll not get your timing sorted out; and you'll not have the physical exercise of getting your mouth to work! Practicing in your head just won't cut it - whether you're using a laptop or an Ipod! That's not to say that the other advantages of using an Ipod aren't valid, though!
