Using iPAQ as a simple USB storage device?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

As far as I know this is not possible since there is no driver
for using an iPAQ as a simple USB Mass storage device and the
device wasn't built to be a USB Mass Storage device.
Even if there was such a driver, you'd still need to be able to
install the driver, and if you can't install ActiveSync then the
driver will pose you with the same problem.. a brick wall.
It's cheaper to just get one of those small USB Pen drives
(size of your choice) and use that for removable storage..
Some brands that carry USB Pen drives in their productions are:
Lexar, SanDisk, Kingston, Iomega, Sony, Cyclone, Bonzai, Edge,
Fuji, LinkSys, Belkin.. etc.
These USB Pen drives are plug&play on Windows 2000/ME/XP systems.
