IPods have pretty reasonable sound quality. At least for playing back
samples. The ipod touch would work. However getting a playback app that
does exactly what you want may cost some bucks and someone will no doubt
try to steal the device also.

So basically take your big heavy sampler. At least no one will try to
steal it and if beer gets spilt on it then you have less chance of
breakage. Plus it makes you look retro cool and profeshional ;-)
