I must disagree. Perhaps at the beginning this was the case but Apple Inc. has made it clear that it intends for the iPod Touch to be an "Internet tablet."

That's even more restrictive than I could have imagined... You sure there is no way to "scan" the iPod for media and download files into PC, without syncing it first opposite way?
The reason I'm asking... let's assume this situation that your computer HD crashes, gets stolen, or similar that you lose your iTunes database. Then you might have thought that the iPod is nice backup device, but if you can not restore your files from there to PC... wouldn't that suck?
I'm almost positive there must be a way to sync the iTunes database based on the contents of the iPod... No?

Well as far as i know even if your friend has itunes installed he cannot do that. That is what i learnt from my friend. Please correct me if am wrong.
As far as i know the ipod syncs with only one computer at a time. So if you want some of your friends songs and think you can just install itunes and get them ... then forget it, coz the moment u attach the ipod to his computer and sync it will remove all your songs already in the ipod. So you either have your collection or your friend's collection.

Pickle:
I don't agree with you on the interface issue. I prefer to use a 'manager" app for moving video and audio. having a product that relies on drag and drop I am really annoyed when I have to use it. Navigate here, drag here, set up file structure here and there. No, the iTunes interface wins hands down. Would I like an option to that kind of stuff manually? Sure, and I've downloaded apps to do just that. They rarely get used.
