iPod Touch...

I want to get an iPod Touch but there are two things I want to know first:

1. Can you use it as a flash drive? If so, how?

2. Can you use the D-Link DWL-G122 Wireless Adapter to connect the iPod Touch as a flash drive (I want to plug it in on other computers and have it connect to the iPod)?

- Thanks, Adrian

1/ Only on mac with iPhoneDisk (or something like that), but it will not be available in finder and I think it must be jailbreaked for iPhoneDisk to work.

2/ No.

Enable Disk Use with iPod Touch - http://www.tuaw.com/2007/09/21/use-your-ip...-400-usb-stick/

#2: Never tried it, but wouldn't it be possible to plug it in and share the drive and just use it as a storage media? I don't think iTunes will be able to connect to it though.

The only way to access files on the iPod touch is having it to run 3rd party programs and manage to get sftp running on it.

...two conflicting comments here... Ertai, have u tried enabling disk usage with a touch?

I too thought it should operate in the same manner as an ipod, where u just enable it in itunes and it appears in explorer/finder like an external flash drive/ hard drive.

So, it won't be mounted until you have a way (like macfuse) to mount sshfs on the desktop.

I know about apps that allows to use it in disk mode, but you need to use the application, it won't be mounted in explorer/finder. SSHFS is for wifi transfer only.

EDIT : There's no "Enable disk usage" (or something similar, I don't use english iTunes) in iTunes for the iPod Touch.
