You're on vacation and you want to take as many pictures as you possibly can.
One problem: Your memory card is now full, and you have to run back to you
hotel room to save those pictures in your computer. Sound familiar?
Digital Foci introduced a handy portable storage device called Photo Safe II that includes a built-in card reader that's compatible with most memory card formats, including CF Type I (including Extreme III, IV, UDMA), xD-Picture Card, MMC, SD/HC Card, miniSD, Memory Stick, MS PRO, MS Duo, and MS Pro Duo.
CNET says you simply stick the card into the card reader, press a copy button, and all the photos on the card are copied on to the photo vault in just a few minutes. Apparently, it takes about 3.5 minutes to copy contents stored on a 1GB card and about 11 minutes if you have a 4GB card.
The Photo Safe II drive organizes all your photos in individual folders every time you insert a new card, so you don't have to worry about overwriting its contents. It connects to any computer via a USB 2.0 slot and can be charged when it remains plugged in. This cool little photo hard drive is compatible with both Mac and PC and available in 80GB ($139) and 160GB($189).

Wasn't there an iPod accesory similar to this? All and all, I love the idea of this product, especially the fact that it charges via USB.

I was gonna say the same thing as aprkareckas if I'm gonna remove the memmory card from the camera in the first place I might as well just put in a new card even set on 8 megapixles Im not going to go through 4 1gb cards in a day. this might have been a great idea when flash memmory was more expensive but not now

Very Handy yes... but does it have a Flash drive or Hard Drive?

My household utilizes multiple .5 and 1G SD cards - very affordable - for pictures. We typically use the 2 or 3M setting. A photo backup is still a nifty idea considering its'capacity.
