iPad as external storage device?

[dantastic]

I thought this used to be just a check box in iTunes, to just enable the iOS device to be a USB storage device?

It seems that I need to use 3rd party apps for this now or am I just looking in the wrong place?

I've an iPad on 4.3.1

this option was removed from devices running iOS quite a while ago.

That was a feature on regular iPods, but it was never a feature of iOS devices.

That's probably where I remember it from, my old iPod.
Alright, 3rd party app it is so.

Yes, third party app like GoodReader. Through iTunes with a cable or Wi-Fi as a server. It is easy but you won't be able to transfer to certain computeri if there isn't Wi-Fi or iTunes.

Hmmm... spend $500+ for removable storage in iPad form, or $30 for a 16gb thumb drive?

I'm going to recommend the thumb drive. Sorry.
