The iPod Touch uses memory to store programs and other information, but it does so in a totally different manner than all of the other iPods. Using the iPod Touch as a storage device cannot be done by enabling the portable hard disk mode in the way other iPods do.

The apps vary in price and complexity but all work in a similar fashion, enabling the iPod Touch to be used as a portable hard disk. Tips Warnings Writer Bio
