You can. The mutual incompatibility with the design is
price.
If you pay the premium for the design you can get it on any platform.

A keyboard that plugs into your USB slot (if the plug is round it's not USB).

All iPods are targeted at children to some extent, and the flash iPods are actually most useful for mobile people of all ages.

11 year old Godchild and his friends are pesting their parents
already for one. $ 299 was too expensive for most parents,
but now, Apple has a niche for them, and considering that
a gameboy costs anywhere from $ 60 to $ 90, the iPod
is priced just right for this age group (11 - 15).
Only as long as they don't ever check other prices.
Apple's products are priced significantly over others, with the hard drive based iPods it made sense because they had value to offer over the others in the form of design and firmware.
With flash players design is less of an issue because any manufacturer can already make it small enough.
So I was hoping for the iPod touch in the form of firmware.
They missed the boat and made something that will merely ride on the coattails of the other iPod's phenominal success.

satts already said it, the more expensive iPods were already the hits.

Wanna know what's the next big thing from Apple people?
Cell phones.
I'll be very interested, that's something where design is one of the priorities.
