I have a 3rd generation 40GB iPod and used it occasionally as additional hard disk for my laptop while on the road, but the battery life is not 12h or 8h, but realistically 30minutes if you use it as a hard disk only. So using this as a image storing device is unfortunately useless, even with additional batteries. But thanks for the suggestion :) Bertho, > I have been using the Archos AV-320 for that function.

See: this looks good, but I think I don't need half of its functions and definitely not a image display, I just need a temporary storage device...but thanks, I guess I have to read some more reviews and comparisons.
