Here's my situation:
I am going to Europe and the UK for two weeks and I am using it as an excuse to update my gadget collection. I need somewhere to offload pictures from my Sony DSC-V1 without hauling my laptop over there. I have a iPaq 3970 but there isn't much I can do with it without a hard drive, so here are my thoughts.
IPod Photo: Use either the new camera adapter or that Belkin Deal with all the card reader slots. If you suggest this route, 30GB or 60GB? 60's nice to have but I hear it's a bit beefier (not good for a pocket) than the 30. My only hesitation here is I really really want an FM tuner which has yet to materialize for the IPod.
I-River Devices: They have the FM tuner, but I can't figure out how to get my pic's off my camera or memory stick on to these devices.
Personal Media Centers: I cannot see using it much for movies (my 3970, duh!) and I don't know of a way of getting the pic's on there without a PC.
Basically, which one of these do you folks like or is there another magic gadget I haven't thought of (I know about those dedicated boxes to dump pics on exclusively but I am trying to get a slick mp3 player out of this too) and if you recommend the IPod, which size of the photo? Keep in mind, I like to take a lot of pictures.
Thanks,
