Keith, Come on in the water is fine! I lost my first 128meg USB drive, gave some to my kids, bought more 256 meg drives on sale ($19.95?), and held out until I found a 1 Gig USB2.0 for $59.95. Picked up a 512meg USB2.0 for $34.95 last weekend at Office Depot as I am filling the 1Gig...need to clea

Keeping with the basic theme of this post, I bought myself a Lexar Media "JumpDrive 2.0 Pro," with male USB port, over Christmas. I had been lamenting the loss of a 3.5" HD disc drive, and someone mentioned the JumpDrive. I haven't used it yet, but the principle is the same. And this is 512 Mb!

I agree. I have the Belkin card reader for the ipod. It is very slow to read, and it takes a lot of batteries. On a new ipod (so the battery holds a long charge), the indicator goes from full to scarily close to empty when uploading 2GB. In December in London I used it on days when my (only) 2BG c

Belkin has had two devices to move data to the iPod from digital media or cameras for some time. I don't believe it is the best solution, a standalone, dedicated storage device is much more efficient at this task. I'm looking at one of the CompactDrive units, as I have a trip coming up that I plan
