A truly portable iPod

I read something about Parallels software that gave me an idea.

Parallels will allow you to associate your iPod with iTunes on a virtual PC. This means that if you put that Virtual PC on a portable drive, you can take that iPod and drive anywhere and access your iTunes.

Still not very convenient -- but I bet there is a way (via parallels or bootcamp) to keep a version of Windows on the iPod itself.

But here's where it would be worth offering a bounty to hackers -- what about hacking the iTunes app that runs on the iPhone so that it will recognise the hard drive of whatever machine it's attached to and transfer files to and from that machine?
