Heck!  Ipod! ipod not only has memory but also a music player. a Flash drive can only carry data. But Price wise flash drive is much less expencive.

Definitely not.\n\nAll you need to do is alter a few settings.\n\nOpen iTunes while your iPod is connected and then go to iPod options\n\nEnable the option " Allow to be used as a disc drive"\n\nEnjoy!

Depends on what you are looking for...\n If capacity doesn't matter and you are looking for a cheaper option and all you want is a video iPod, then for the 30 GB one. If you want extra storage space too, then go for the 60 Gb one

Flash is expensive. You can get a 300gig drive where I am for $150. \nAt $35 per 2 gig, the same flash capacity would cost over 5000 bucks.\n\nAlso, flash has an endurance problem. You can only erase/write to it so many times before it wears out (reading is no problem).  There are some ways to extend the life, but they add to the cost.\n\nIt would be helpful of your 100gig "flash drive" was accessible the same as regular memory to the OS. That would make for lightning-quick retrieval.\n\nBy the way, nothing stops you from using a flash stick as a regular drive right now. Two gig is enough room to store all of Office, several games, and a schwack of music.

The iPod nano can be used as a removable disc for storage and even has a function to let you view pictures on its screen. The battery life, however, is not great (it's around 8 hours) and you can only charge itup through the PC.\n\nHope this Helps!

No difference, they are the same thing just what people call them. A USB Drive or Pen contains flash memory so technically its a flash drive.

Hope you are talking about flah/jump drives...\nI think it will depend on what exactly do you want. For example you will find a few 1GB which are smaller than other ones. Some could have integrated mp3 players, etc. About brands I've used Kingston(better reputatin in my opinion), and Sandisk(real tiny flash drive). Both have worked perfectly. So I say do not worry, as long as they have a nice warranty (which most do).

Any Portable Solid State (PSS) MP3 player works as both a USB pen drive and an MP3 player. My Aigo 208 1GB MP3 Player works fine as both, for example.\n\nMake sure it's solid state (rather than a hard disk) and it should work fine as a USB pen drive.

yes, kind of...I have an sandisk Mp3 player that you can store documents and stuff on, and its great for music.  It is 1 gig and It works really well in my opinion.  you don't have to install anything to use it either.

If you can connect it to the computer and put files on it then yes. Im not sure what a Ipod nano is but my brother had an Ipod and he used its multi Gb storage to back up whole programs and xfer information.

you can use a flash drive. since you have i tunes im assuming you have an ipod also. you can use the ipod as a hard drive / flash drive too.

Well if you don't have an Ipod you don't really need it.I'd use the media player 10 instead.

It's up to you of course, but I prefer iPods over any mp3 player. I would keep it.

I got a 128 mb Kingston.  It is the silver one.   Nice looking and no data has ever been lost.  If you have usb2, it can use that kind of port, so transferring files are fast.  If you can afford it, then get a 1 gb, or 4 gb.  But for saving files that don't amount to much memory, 128 mb is sufficent.   Kingston is the only one that I have ever used.  There is no splash screens that pop-up everytime you put the drive into the usb device, so that eliminates time wasted.
