I'm confused slightly, wouldn't you also need a computer per zone to
actually
run iTunes on? (As far as I know there isn't yet a way to stream
directly from an iPod Touch to AirTunes.)

Note that the previous iPod Touch didn't have a mail client (not
upgraded to the new firmware yet, but that doesn't seem like something
that apple would change).

Of course you can jailbreak it and then install Mail.app.

And if you jailbreak it you can do pretty much whatever you like
anyway (assuming you don't mind getting your hands dirty..).
