You can do those things, so long as you have an iPhone with firmware
1.0.2 or below, for the moment. Unless you care to pick one up and
contribute, don't bitch if it takes a while for that to be true for
the 1.1.1 firmware, but it will be soon enough.

That is true, but the maximum capacity is *eight* gigabytes. That's
not "mass" by anybody's definition of the word. I can fill / on this
thing with scp(1) via 802.11G in the time it takes me to shower
without bothering to wash my hair.
It's mildly frustrating that you can't just drag text files across
to it, except that it's a full-fledged Darwin (newer major version
that Mac OS X, actually) build, and OpenSSH works just fine, so, you
know, crontabbed rsync works to get my shopping list on it...

SonyEricsson did that five years ago, they just have lousier marketing
than Apple, as difficult as that is to wrap one's head around.
