Has anybody had the pleasure of using one of these products?
One of the biggest downsides I see of them is the lack of media card support. It's a shame there isn't an addon accessory that could connect to it via the USB connection.

No photogs in the world need or use this item.

They only want the simple thing as a PSD with CF card reader buit-in to download and save their photo temporary.

All the MP3 or media center devices are flashy not suitable for what we are looking.

Just straightful a PSD has a built in CF reader with a hdd of 40Gb is around $250- $300.00.

Even the Nikon Coolwalker costs over AU$600.00, it's still so expensive with our range in comparison with you can buy 6 x 1Gb card =$600.00 and you can shoot all week long without any worrying of running out of digifilm. BTW, I'll have one Nikon Coolwalker next week for evaluation.

Heheh.....hasn't arrived yet and expansys will be getting an abusive phone call tomorrow along with my cancellation if they say they don't have any stock. Yes it's dissappointing, but I'm not going to be put out by it because I'm taking bits and computer parts with me to build a new PC for my sister in France. So while I'm there I will have access to her new PC and I have a USB 20gb hdd. Then when I'm in the UK I can use an internet cafe I expect to transfer files to my USB 20gb hdd. It'll also give me time to think or see new products that are coming on the market. PS. a note for all....don't use expansys for any purchases. They promised an easy 2 week delivery and 3-4 weeks later I still don't have it and it looks like the 14th will be their next delivery. I will be posting this in the trader reviews section.
