Hi Joe, I've already got a 30gb Ipod photo, but I'm still trying to find the best way of getting images from cards to the unit itself. There are a couple of proprietry connectors, but they are hideously slow. I'm sort of fishing at the moment, and hopefully I come up with something useable.
The Ipod's don't have direct card access (i.e. there is no card slots, only the built in USB/Firewire support). The problem is that the ipod can't power a card reader etc through its USB/firewire port. More's the pity... Other than that, the iPod is a brilliant and beautifully made piece of kit, which does its primary job really well. Cheers Shaun Joseph Tainter said: > Double check this before buying, Shaun.
