<a href="http://www.glasslantern.com./articles/PocketPCstorage/index.htm">http://www.glasslantern.com./articles/PocketPCstorage/index.htm</a><br /><br />Jeff Blum, the CEO of Glass Lantern, has written a great article on the pros and cons of using a Pocket PC as a photography storage tool. If you're a photographer, this is a must-read article. Very well done!<br /><br />"There are a number of products that help to solve this picture storage problem, but they typically only do one useful thing - transfer pictures to a built-in hard drive. I don't trust all of my pictures to any single device unless I have to, especially on a long trip. Plus, the last thing I need is another electronic widget to carry around...not to mention a charger, extra batteries, etc. I like to get as much as possible out of the equipment I already have, and my Pocket PC already goes pretty much everywhere since it holds my calendar, address book, notes, calorie tracking software, ebooks, and news from the newspapers and magazines I read. Why not use it for storing pictures as well?"

The reviewer was talking about using Camera battery to also power up iPAQ while powering iPAQ with various HardDrives. These batteries are monster!

Add to this storage idea (it's been linked before, but here's a reminder):

I'm sure larger drives could be incorporated.
