hi all

I'm going to get this one today, but just have a couple of question before i buy it.


I know that ipod will need to install itunes to work, but Will Ipod nano let you use it like a flash drive? Can you take you ipod to other pc and transfer documents in and out without the need of installing softwares?

Thanks

According to that, you should be able to transfer files pretty easy however its not specificly saying that software isnt needed. Personally i wouldnt think so, generally a flash drive works from a mass storage device driver thats implemented into XP already.

thought i should post this too..

Yea you can use your ipod like that. But i think the drivers will need to be installed.

Only things thats really strange is i have a 40gig ipod, and it works fine on my pc, i put it in my gf's pc and she has a nano, and it wont detect mine :S go figure!
