In the specific case of iPods, 3rd-party software is not allowed on them at
this time. (And certainly not any AT that might change the user interface).
This I know from personal interaction with Apple on the subject. I¹m not
sure about Zune or other media players.
But to the extent that devices like this become open and do allow 3rd-party
software / hardware, then I agree they would be the same as other computer
hardware.
