Hey check out this review of the Giga Vu Pro Evolution by Rob Galbraith...
http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_p...-7892-8176
Sounds like a pretty neat device for on the go storage:
- 3.7 inch screen, 640 x 480 resolution
- 40GB, 80GB and 120GB models
- Image review functions that include a histogram (RGB, Red, Green, Blue or luminance), blown highlights warning, cross-hair readout of RGB values and unique dust detection mode
- RAW file decoding, including reading of the white balance in newer Nikon digital SLRs
- Full-resolution, full-motion, full-quality playback of common video formats (including standard MPEG flavours found on movie DVDs)
- A built-in FTP server with support for transfers from Wi-Fi capable cameras (an extra-cost Wi-Fi CF card for the Giga Vu PRO evolution is required)
- Swappable recharagable battery
Physically it looks more like a PSP or gaming console than a image storage device...
At a RRP of US$495 for the 40GB, US$695 for the 80GB and US$895 for the 120GB though, it's pretty steep....
