There isn't a computer everywhere you go. For example when you're
staying in a hotel, or driving, or out camping.
And the screen cover IS necessary. Without it, an iPod's screen will be
unreadable after just a few months of regular use.

What about when you go to a friends house and they don't have iTunes?
What about at the office?

between iTunes and iPod is a factor, but it's a small one.
