Belkin have launched an iPod storage adapter that allows transfer direct from memory cards to an iPod:2
Another new PHD option:3
Jessops (UK) now stock a range of mono and colour PHDs and standalone CD-writers - including the Apacer Disc Steno CP100, the new Apacer Disc Steno CP200 and the Nixvue Vizor. I haven't seen them in my local store though, so they're probably mail order only...4
Yet another new standalone CD-writer:5
This is a (SD) memory card to PCcard HD direct transfer device:6
Very nice new MP3 player and PHD with colour screen (DIVX capable), looks like it only supports MMC/SD though:9
Another CD based one:10
I'd like to hear replies from people who have PHDs and have really tested them on the road. I saw one person's post on another thread that said he had one he'd used for over 3 years. I'm still concerned about reliability. Many of these use standard laptop hard drives, right? Being a computer service technician, I see A LOT of laptops come in with failed hard drives, and the majority of those are from people who've been traveling. I also read the thread about protecting against theft...another concern. I guess what I'm worried about most is losing all my pictures (either from hardware failure or theft). My original idea was to burn my pics to CD as I went and send the CDs home so even if I lost one or two CDs, at least I wouldn't lose all my pictures.11
Swoosh, if they have HDs in them then they're using standard laptop drives - generally either 2.5" or 1.8". You do realise that many of the products I've listed are standalone CD-writers don't you?12
Ya, I did make it sound like the portable CD-burner would be the perfect solution, huh? Sorry I didn't mention they seem more bulky in size than I'd wish to carry around (though I can't say I've used one to verify). No one has mentioned their PHD failing yet, so maybe I'll check out the various models and get one of those.13
Another one that's new to me:14
