There was a lot of buzz on the street today about the military using the iPod Touch. This really should not be a surprise. There was chatter back when the 3G was announced that the Army was looking to buy a bunch of them. This article briefly mentions this.

At the time, I though, how can something this fragile survive in places like Iraq and Afganistan. Check out this video of a ruggedized iPod Touch that was in military service. Looks like it is just wrapped in rubber, for the most part. IT has a hefty cable coming out. It would be interesting to see exactly what it is interfacing with, I am betting it is more than just a external power supply.

If you need a tough case, check out Otter Box.
