Some questions, I see the iPod folks w/little ear buds.
I use a walkman, have a long bus commute, and am subject to a lot of bus noise. I bought high end earphones (big suckers) to drown out some of the outside noise so I wouldn't go deaf turning up the volume on the walkman.
1. Can I use other earphones w/it? I've never seen anyone w/anything other than the little white earplugs.
2. I listen to a lot of talk radio (hence the FReepername). I don't suppose they make an iPod w/a radio? I haven't seen one, but the young people I know who have iPods don't listen to talkradio, so they wouldn't be looking for this function.
I wear my walkman all the time, but until I can get something small, like a walkman, that has radio, I don't see me switching over to an iPod. I don't even use a portable cd player cause they don't fit in a pocket.
Google the term "podcasting."

You can use any kind of earphones. On airplanes I use sony noise cancelling ones, most days i use some soft gel ones that fit in my ear and are very comfortable.
You can record talk radio from the internet using software, I use "Replay Radio", and listen to it the next day. It will automatically sych with your iPod if you want.
also a big audible fan, have dozens of full length audio books. Love it.
It's a standard 1/8" mini headphone jack. To knock out outside noise, there are noise-cancellers (like Bose and others). They'll work fine.
Some people swap out the white earbuds so they would be targeted for theft of their iPod! It's true.
There are non-Apple iPod-like devices with FM receivers. Creative is one brand to seek.
