Yes and no. When Apple flips the switch on a product from one generation to another, the old generation is generally made unavailable with very few exceptions. (The one I recall was that Apple continued to sell the PowerPC-based iBook through education channels after the Intel-based MacBook came out.)
However, Apple's web site does offer refurbished models, which generally range from the current generation to the one directly before. (And they do it cheap, too.) That section is usually in the bottom-right corner of the main store page.
Personally, if my iPod were to die today (knock on wood), I'd be looking at the iPod Touch, size depending on how much I could swing at the time. It fits my needs quite nicely; I find myself showing off photos and videos at times, and I often find myself lugging the MacBook around just to surf the web. If I can just pull out the iPod Touch and use Safari there instead, that's a load off my back (literally). Now to hope that USC's network can tolerate them.
