As per title,

I can't see a option to do so..

I want it so I can whack files on there like a USB Memory Stick..

TIA,

Bloomerz

I grabbed Airsharing from the AppStore whilst free, only downside is only accessible via wifi network.

Thanks for the tip..

Wouldn't be helpful for me, as I would use it for college work..

it can't be done as the software on the iPod Touch/iPhone is very different to the older models.
While the older iPods could be formatted as FAT32, the Touch/iPhone run slimmed down versions of OS X and thus need to be formatted as HFS+ which isn't recognised by Windows

So if you plug it into a USB port, it doesn't appear as a removable drive?

I've got an iPod Touch 2G on order for Xmas so would I be best off picking up a cheap memory stick as well?

either pick up a cheap USB Drive or install airshare and do it over the wireless network

I've been using IphoneBrowser & just putting files into the media part of my iphone seems to work fine but every comp you use has to have it installed.
