Okay,

Here's another way to use your Zune as an external HDD. Although not as cool as the registry hack, this one's easier and safer for the common people.

Software required: Zune Software, .NET Framework 2.0, and a special "codec".

The idea: embed the file you want to transfer to a JPEG EXIF, then sync it with your Zune using Zune Software. Beam it to friends. Friends synced up Zune with their computers, then run the "decoder" tool to extract the JPEG EXIF property back to a file. Voila!

Anyone interested? I have a running prototype, and would love to collab with someone with good UI coder (.NET only). I can e-mail for a sample of the "encoded" JPEG.
