If you are one of the geeks who love to take photos then i guess this one is just the right gadget for you, the Media Buddy from Digital Foci. It's a portable digital photo storage with a hard drive and memory card reader that is able to copy and stored from any digital camera media card. The supported media card formats, including CF I/II, MD, SM, xD-Picture Card, MMC, SD Card, miniSD, and Memory Stick. It's compatible with both Macs and PCs, can transfer up to 480 Mbps, and operates for 1.6 hours on a single charge. How it works? You just need to insert the memory card into Media Buddy to download the entire image. It has a LCD screen to show the current operation status. To transfer it to your computer, there is an USB 2.0 connection for you to do so. Included in the package is Ulead Photo Explorer image management software, earphones, AC adaptor and carrying case with lithium ion battery. I still can't get it, why does it need earphones? I don’t think it plays MP3. It will be available at Digital Foci with the price of USD199 for 40GB, USD229 for 60GB and USD259 for 80GB.
