dropboxios
I have installed drop box iOS app. It syncs with the documents that I have on the pc. Is there any way I can open a word/excel file inside the drop box app with a document editing app like Documents, iSpreadsheet etc inside my iPod touch?
For example, when I select Test1.xls in Drop box app, it should open in Documents free app. Is this possible?
(I'm not certain of this answer -- it's a somewhat educated hunch, based on using iPods for 10 years and Apple products for 25, and looking at wikipedia. If anyone knows from actual experience, use that answer instead.)
In general, I would guess that you can downgrade an iPod to the version of the OS that it was released with, but not earlier. So, for example, an iPod Touch 2g could probably be downgraded to iPhone OS 2.1, but not 1.1 (which wouldn't really matter since there was no App Store in 1.x!). Each iPod Touch gen-N ships with the N.1 release of iOS, about a month after the corresponding iPhone ships with the N.0 release.
An iPod Touch 2g should run all versions of iOS for the iPod Touch that have an App Store, though it doesn't support all the features of iOS 4. The hardware differences between iPod models might be a bigger issue for testing, e.g., older iPods don't have a built-in microphone.
Not today.
It looks like the current app asks iTunes to require GPS on iPhone.
iPod Touch and even iPad with GPS are prevented from downloading the app directly and iTunes will not install it.
I don't know why iTunes doesn't tell you what specific devices the app will work on rather than be a little vague about "not compatible with this device".

I don't think so. You would need the Documents application to build in support for pulling down documents from your dropbox account. Applications on the phone aren't really allowed to share data because of sandboxing.
