I also have an 8GB iPod touch 1G and I got a 8GB 2G with the back to school offer last year and now I use my 1G as a TomTom. I installed the app on it and bought the TomTom car kit for it and it works great. If you don't want/need to do this then you could also get a dock with a speaker and use it as an alarm clock with an app.
