This might of interest to some people on the list. There are a few new portable storage devices presented at the International Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas: HyperDrive Portable Storage Device HD80: http://www.cesweb.org/press/new_product:s/rd_new_product_details.asp?prodid=6630 HyperDrive Mini Portable Storage Device: http://www.cesweb.org/press/new_products/rd_new_product_details.asp?prodid=6629
Images of both Hyperdrive devices: http://www.pbase.com/sanho/hyperdrive The HD80 looks like a rebadged PD70x. In fact, it is the same product, just distributed/marketed through a different company (Sanho vs. Eastgear) and for different markets (Americas vs. Europe, Asia, Australia). More detail on it here: http://hyperdrive.com/shop/index.php and here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1023&message=16193366&changemode=1 Funny, that Sanho USA looks like a one man operation (only one person is a contact for everything, marketing, sales, etc..).
