Also, you can get a similar device with a built-in screen for viewing your photos. The Epson P-2000 is popular because its screen supposedly very good:

Didnt someone have a trick for use with their IPOD? I will need something like this short enough and I want to know if I can use my POD in order to transfer them over.

I believe there are some Belkin accessories that will let you do this with your iPod. Do a search on Amazon. Be sure to read the reviews though, there are a lot of complaints that the process is slow and battery-draining.

The iPOD video can accept photos (though I'm not sure about how you transfer them), but you can't preview them if you shoot RAW. You just have to take it on faith that you got the shots.

I've been looking at the Vosonic VP8360, which stores and previews most camera formats, including Nikon, Fuji, Canon, and Minolta RAW formats, among others. It also accepts TIF and JPG, and maybe other types. It's considered a Multimedia Player, so you can store music and video. You can also put as big a hard drive as you can find into it - that's your cost decision.

Epson has a photo storage device. There's a bunch of them out there. Just hop out onto your search engine of choice and look for "Digital photo storage device".

I recently bought a Tatung Elio 20GB MP3 player which also has an SD card slot and USB host capability for downloading cameras. It's a little slow and downloading SD cards munches the battery, but for the price its pretty good.

I bought a hard disk case on eBay which can act as a usb host.
Put formatted 2"5 drive in, batteries and plug usb cable into camera.

Press button, and hey presto the card contents are copied onto disk.

Problem is, you can't see it has actually completed, without errors, etc... so, it's sat in my bag just in case I ever need more than the 5Gb space I have on my CF cards... but until then... it's just there... sitting idle... with me not trusting it 100% :(

Here is a link to a similar item if you are still interested:
