Free application (till Dec 1 2010) for Mac or PC. Makes your ipod/ iphone/ iPad look like a disk. Mentioned by TidBits people, who have some cred.

Looks worthwhile to download now, even if you don't yet have a need for it.
My question now -- WHERE do I properly put a file, to have it accessed by an app that wants it? For instance, I have two epub files that I haven't managed to get INTO any app willing to open them. Can someone figure out what the directory structure is, etc, and where I would drop those files?
