Hi Teena,
We, of course, do not know about future products. Never do. If I were a betting man, though, I'd say that our solution around iPod Touches is going to be the recommended solution. If Microsoft chooses to incorporate this feature into Office 2010 for Mac (due in October), then there will be that extra option.
