OK, so I know that you can get these little portable hard drives/ ipod type things where you can put in your memory card in the side slot and the pictures on it transfer automatically to the hard drive. how is that called?
no. the one's i'm talking about have a capacity of 20-30-40-50 gigs. They have a slot for different types of memory cards and you can empty your cards by transfering everything onto this device.
I too had an older one from kanguru.com but it has stopped reading my cards. I used it all the time even though it was a bit slow. I can still use it as a external hard drive but not a card reader. They also now make one that burn right to a CD, not sure how good the battery life is on those. If I was to get a new one I would probably go with one that has an image display but that really isn't important to me at all.
As stated a laptop is probably a better bet because of multi-tasking and better battery life, but sometimes you just can't (or don't want to) carry something like that around.
