This is kinda unrelated, but you might want to somehow let your parents know that Apple usually refreshes the ipod touch lineup in September. This means you could end up with twice the capacity for the same price, or with some new features. Just a heads up that it would probably be waiting an extra half month for.
I checked out the cigar apps on my girlfriends iphone (I don't own one or an itouch). They seemed interested, and they are pretty cheap so probably worth messing around with.
