   I've recently purchased a 32GB iPod touch which I hope to use as a repository/reader for pdf,word and txt docs to view on the go. I've also read every note in existence on how to do this. However, when I fire-up iTunes and click on the iPod icon in the source pane, the Summary tab should have a 4th checkbox option which says:
   
   Enable disk use
   
   It does not! The only 3 options available are:
   
   1. Open iTunes when this iPod is connected
   2. Sync only checked songs and videos
   3. Manually manage music and videos
   
   My initial thought was that I had an old version of iTunes, so I downloaded and reinstalled again - to no avail. I'm running Windows Vista and iTunes7 with software version 1.1.4

   Can anyone help? - as I really need to use the iPod as a document reader. Many Thanks in Advance.

   I don't think Ipod touch or Iphone offers "enable disk usage" facility yet.

   Seems they have not incorporated it into any device which is based on Flash memory technology.

   That's what I initially thought. However, a friend of mine has the 16G model and can use his iPod Touch as disk - the difference being that he is using a Mac computer. He's readily able to drag n drop docs onto his iPod icon within iTunes.

   Windows users can enabled disk use option on iPod touch using touchtube - not free though.

   "TouchCopy lets you access your iPod Touch or iPhone as an external disk drive. This lets you copy files from your iPod to your PC and also from your PC to your iPod."

   If you do not want to spend money on this utility, you can jailbreak and unlock the iPod touch to copy files from your hard disk to the iPod.

   Not recommended though.

   Thanks for your wealth of knowledge on the subject!
   I'll check out these possibilities and see which one best suites me. It's a crying shame that for such a sophisticted (and expensive!) piece of gear, the most simplest of operations cannot be performed.

   thanks amit. Will keep you posted if I find a solution that works for me.
