You can opt to use it as a flash drive thro iTunes like other iPods plus manually add or manage your stuff on it. Also if you have attachments included with emails like MS Word documents the Touch will open them no problem.

Well, I don't have an iTouch so I haven't tried it myself but my friend's son has one and that is what he told me in the context of discussing my n800 and the iTouch. I was talking to him about how I've stored a lot of pdf files and such that I can load and view as I need them. He told me that you could not do that on the iTouch.
If someone wishes to send me and iTouch to review and keep, I'll straighten you all out

You CANNOT use the iTouch as a mass storage device like other iPods.
BUT there is an app called Air Sharing that lets you mount the iTouch as a network volume to add stuff. From that I successfully put some pdf files on it and accessed them without problem.
