The word "Touch" is at issue, and it's too generic to trademark on it's own. Even Microsoft failed to trademark the generic term "Windows" on it's own, so there is no chance that HTC could score that win. Apple would had to use HTC in the iPod's name to violate their trademark. I agree that Apple should have nothing to worry about.

There are no trademarks (that I can find) so Apple should be okay on this. It’s possible both companies arrived at the name independently and it so happens HTC released their “Touch” first.
