I had been lamenting the loss of a 3.5" HD disc drive, and someone mentioned the JumpDrive.
I haven't used it yet, but the principle is the same. And this is 512 Mb! 355 times the old high density discs, and it's the size of a half a pack of chewing gum!
Who'd have thunk it?!
So, this post asks: who else has one, and can relate their experience with it? To me it's so obviously such a huge improvement over the old HDDs, yet I've have heard almost nothing about them online!

I agree. I have the Belkin card reader for the ipod. It is very slow to read, and it takes a lot of batteries. On a new ipod (so the battery holds a long charge), the indicator goes from full to scarily close to empty when uploading 2GB.
In December in London I used it on days when my (only) 2BG card would fill up. In one ocassion I had time to shoot two rolls of Tri-X on the M6 in the time the card was being emptied.
I wouldn't recommend this solution to someone with a DSLR. It would work great for a small PS shooting jpegs and uploading 128-256Mb at a time, though.
My ipod will stay as a music player and as extra backup of the "keepers".

Belkin has had two devices to move data to the iPod from digital media or cameras for some time. I don't believe it is the best solution, a standalone, dedicated storage device is much more efficient at this task. I'm looking at one of the CompactDrive units, as I have a trip coming up that I plan to be shooting a LOT of exposures. I suspect I'll need space for 1500-3000 RAW files.
