Great for traveling! (Stephen Negri, Charleston, SC USA, 2007-01-12)

I bought and used this storage device to accomodate a recent trip to Thailand. It is somewhat akin to an ipod on steroids. Though bulky as in won't fit in your pocket, it's still less cumbersome and takes up far less space than a laptop. In addition to excellent playback of MP3s and gigantic storage of that medium, I used it to store all of the digital photos that I wanted to take with me, plus the pictures I took on the trip. There is the added advantage of being able to interface the unit with a television. Voila, a high quality digital slide show. My only complaint is the limited number of video codecs on board. Otherwise it's a great unit to travel with.
