I'm actually a bit excited about this, both because I found the touch quite well-designed when trying it out in the store and because I heard UA's February movies are awful and I noticed March's aren't Oscar award-winners either. It'll also be a good chance to try out the renting feature from iTunes.
one thing to be aware of is the "plug" which fits into the ipod....it's larger than most so if you have a case, it might not fit. BUT, there is a workaround....

for me, i used an xacto knife to very carefully shave off some of the plastic on the opening on my case and voila!. just go slow and gentle and you'll be fine (and don't forget that the iairplay has a car cigarette lighter charger, built right over the empower charger so you can give your ipod a head start on the drive to the airport).
