The Zen Vision M can be used liked a Pen drive. Set some space aside for data storage, and you can drag and drop like Windows Explorer.

ipod as external memory

Yes, the ipod can be used as external memory but you must activate this option for the ipod to be recognized under my computer. This option is found under the ipod's menu in itunes
