It is available now. The Picture Porter is a portable hard drive (20GB or 40GB) which lets users save and view digital images so that they never have to worry about running out of memory card space in a digital camera. This storage device has multiple card reader slots to support CF I/II, MD, SM, MMC, SD Card, miniSD, Memory Stick, MS PRO, MS Duo, and MS PRO Duo cards. The photos and videos saved to the Picture Porter can be viewed on its 2” color LCD screen."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/picture_porter_g_bb_L.jpg" /><br /><br />So at $399, this is a significantly cheaper solution and much more affordable than the device we reported on yesterday. However, it is only half the hard drive size and has a significantly smaller screen size. The cool thing about this device is that it can also play MP3s.

And for the same price, my nifty new 30Gb Zen Vision shows my pictures on a larger screen that has a stunning appearance plus it plays music and video too. The Vision has a CF card slot and there is an accessory to adapt that slot to other media. Even with the extra cost of the accessory if you use SD or MS, the Vision is still a better deal.
