Been investigating if an iPod could be used as repository for pix on long trips.
I found this damning review of the Belkin card reader: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1023&message=6403600
The bottom line is that it is very slow (22 mins to transfer a 500 Mb CF card) and requires its own batteries.
Don't think I'll be getting one.
So what do I do? Stock up with lots of the cheapest CF cards with slow save speeds and possible reliability problems?
