I *think* it's data used by the apps, but I'm not sure. 1.1GB is quite a
bit though - got any apps that store loads of data?

At a guess, application data. I'm fairly sure that the maps for a GPS
system woud show up under 'other', for instance.

They don't, at least not on a TomTom; I think that fits within the
application "bundle" (I know the iPhone doesn't have those).

I think it's "temporary" application data. Think tweets in a Twitter
app, images in an image editor, or tasks in a to-do list.

You can delete it from your iPod and keep it in iTunes, where it will
continue to get updated etc. Or just uncheck it from the new
Applications tab in iTunes 9.

Disable an app at a time and see?
