that's an interesting idea, but I suspect you're out of luck. Smart devices
are becoming small enough and have enough capacity to make something like
that too specialised.
true; however they are still in completely different price (and size)
range from the SD card duplication options i've now found, and they lose
some of the minimalist appeal; i would consider bringing an iPad instead
of my laptop, since it has a great display, however it would be less
minimal than my vision
I have a hard drive which you can plug various types
of card into and it automatically copies them.
yes, i see there are now versions of these with solid state drives, and
even small displays
Referring back to one of your other replies, you mentioned that you used 8Gb
cards. I personally prefer not to because you risk losing so many
photographs if you lose that one card.
i generally download from the card nightly, whether it's full or not;
and when i'm traveling i don't delete the images from the cards unless
i'm in a pinch
but it occurs to me i could get a similar protective effect as smaller
cards by switching cards mid-shoot (since i usually fill less than half
an 8GB card in a day)
I keep the cards in Pelican card cases similar to this:

yeah, i have a Gepe card safe extreme i found at a thrift store, it's a
bit bulky since it also fits CF cards, so i don't use it except when
traveling
