I've been following a thread about these on dpreview.  So far no one
has made the disk work with any digital cameras (most users seem to be
trying with a Canon 10D).

If someone wants to try with a *ist D I'd be curious to hear how it
goes.

I heard that the same drive, taken from Creative's MuVo2, works with 
cameras, this on dpreview also.

Isn't the 4 Gb iPod itself a good and cheap device to stock photos ?

>From posts on dpreview it sounds like the Muvo2 is using a standard
Hitachi microdrive while the one in the Minipod is using a
non-standard firmware.  No one has been able to get these to work in a
camera yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Muvo2 also switched to such a drive.
At the moment they are very difficult to get.

I was hoping that the drive from the Apple would work.  I can get
those locally and would like to have one of these drives before next
weekend.  The Muvo2 units are out of stock everywhere.

The iPod Mini isn't compatible with the card-reader accessory.

Hello guys,
It seems that the new (next to come for Frenchies) Apple Ipod Mini has a
big secret inside :
It contents a real Hitachi Micro Drive 4Go...

Need free space for your *ist D ???
