Hi Frantisek, 

after I got rid of ImageTank (usb1.1, 10GB HDD) I wanted something
faster with integrated battery and large drive. Two weeks ago I found
Apacer Share Steno CD211 at one online computer shop. It was cheap
(1700,- Sk + VAT) for device only - no disk. So I also bought 60GB
harddrive and small USB2 CF reader. After upgrading the firmware,  the
device can download files from *ist D, but I prefer using it with CF
reader as it is much faster. I don't have exact times and did not test
the battery operating time, but can do so this evening if anyone
interested. I did not find any reviews of this small device, so maybe
it is not a perfect one, but it was cheap and available here, and so
far it works good (well, in two weeks I used it only about 4 times to
download files from CF card).
Specifications can be found here:
