[K12OSN] ipod as a usb-device

[Huck]

One of the more enterprising students tried attaching his iPod mini to 
the USB port and using the floppyd application to view files he'd saved 
on the iPod...

apparently it does not communicate the same way as a flash drive does as 
it was unrecognized.

Has anyone attempted this or found a hack around it?
So a student CAN use their ipod as the usb device?
maybe it has to be plugged in while the client is booting?
