Very cool; this is what i've been looking for, and to think that I
wasted my money on a laptop i don't need or want!
Here is another oee by the same compay:
http://www.cintreusa.com/CI-236U2.asp
there is a large price differnce between vendors, one sell the one
you
mentioned for about 19.00 and another for 125.00, is there any
diference in the divices?
How reliable are these? I'd hate to load thousands of photos and
then
have it fail? I couldn't find any reviews of these. anyone used
these?

Where is the link to the item for 19.99? If it is that inexpensive,
it's the enclosure without a hard drive which you would have to
furnish yourself. The item you referenced has slots for memory cards,
the one I did does not. It is, IMO, much better to have a unit with
built-in card slots so you don't have to bother carrying around and
connecting a card reader to it but those generally cost more. Also,
the item you referenced does not have a USB host so you cannot connect
your camera to it to download files. It's better to just pop the card
into it and download rather than use the camera - and it's battery
power - anyway. I have two units, the OTG that I referenced and a
Tripper which has a built-in CF card reader. I needed one that could
read more than just a CF card so I bought the OTG unit. Both have
been very reliable, haven't failed me yet.
