this thread mentions how to set up samba on the iliad, probably the easiest way to transfer files, as you could mount the iliad on your pc files system and use it just like local storage, this is what I do with my zaurus anyway.
Actually (and to also address the previous post) the Iliad works in USB host mode - plug it in and it looks like a standard drive. This allows you to "drag and drop" files from your computer to it - which works fine as long as you place them in the appropriate locations.

That being said, samba - along with the Iliad's wireless functionality - does make for a possibly more elegant solution. Run samba on both host computer and Iliad and have untethered drag and drop file transfer.

best,

Matt
