Can the ipod and the creative vision M act as an external hadd where I can transfer files from pc to pc like the iaudio x5?

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.

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
