Yes, the Sima Hitch is VERY cool. However, it costs $80ish on Ebay. Does anyone know of a way to transfer directly from a USB mass storage device (like my Ipod) without having to use another device like the Hitch?
This is what I use. Much cheaper than the Sima Hitch...
Really?! So you can use it to transfer from your thumbdrive or ipod? Do you have to hack the 770/n800 in order to use it? No other power supply needed (like a hacked powered USB hub)? Since there is no screen on it, how do you select what you are transferring to the 770/n800?
thanks,

Well, I haven't tried this on my 770 (only on my PSP) so I don't know if it needs a Hub. But the device itself it battery powered so I don't think it needs the hub. As for file selection, it has 5 different buttons ranging from Copy, Music, Pictures, Videos, Software, and ALL. Unfortunately, you can't choose what exactly to copy. But for the price, it's worth it in my opinion.

Interesting. Here's a question:
if the device is hooked up to a 60gb ipod, and you transfer using the "music" button, what gets transferred? Does it just start transferring until the recipient's storage capacity fills up? Say you had 6 videos stored on a thumbdrive and only had room on the recipient device for 3 videos. How do you specify which videos to transfer?

Anyone else try this device on a 770/n800?
Sorry, I have no idea. I'm assuming it will transfer the first 3 files in either alphabetical order or the most recent files.
