RE: use iPod as external HDD?
ipods can be used as external drives, but the option needs to be turned on from the itunes that the ipod is synched to.

OR
plug in the ipod, reset it (menu + select for like 4 seconds)
then as it boots hold down select and play.

on my iPod (nano), I can plug it into my computer and it does recognise it as a HDD, however, if you put an mp3 file onto the iPod via Windows Explorer, it won't work at all, you must go via iTunes.

But you can use it as an external HDD and put .docs and stuff on it, which you can access on another computer.
