Allison,

I am in the middle of checking and I see your dilema. You can charge your iPod by plugging in it's USB connector to a laptop, but if the port on the bottom is being taken by your camera, your out of luck.

What if you bought one of the USB card readers that can be had for $10 new on E-bay, and took the card out and loaded it into the card reader hooked directly to your iPod?
