Apple has a memory card reader which works with their regular iPods. I just picked up a 40Gig model and have some nice photo plans for it. The iPods also function as an external HD when connected to a computer. I just doesn't get much better.
If you are looking at getting a mini, you can add $50 more you'll get 11Gig more memory and more accessories included with the 15Gig iPod.

The article states that there have been problems with the ipod mini due to formatting. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Mann Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 10:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Cheap Storage for your *ist D > I just saw a segment on TechTV's "Tech Live" where they were showing > that the > Creative MuVo MP3 player contains a regular FAT32 formatted Hitachi 4GB > microdrive.

I hear its hard to find the Ipod mini at the moment anyway. They haven't even arrived down here yet (I must find out when they're due). > Creative is obviously getting a heck of a volume discount. It doesn't surprise me. I work for a company that manufactures its own products, and you'd hardly believe some of the pricing we get on parts - and we aren't that big a manufacturer. For the finished product there is quite a markup between us and the customer as well. You'll have to take my word on that as I'm not allowed to give out numbers.
