Its strictly USB, you transfer your photos directly to it using a computer. You said earlier that you were going to be around computers the whole time you were on holidays.

I know when you plug it into your computer it's powered off the USB, but what about when I'm dumping my photos? |

See my previous comments and link regarding the X-Drive. It does not require a computer and the battery life is excellent--battery pack back-up should extend the life if needed (no access to power supply). The price should be better than what I payed last September--$200 for 20 gb. If I hadn't needed it just then, I probably would have held out for the 40 gb and paid a little more. |

Okay, that won't work for me. I will have a computer available almost every night, so I can dump photos at the end of the day but I was looking for something to take with me "in the field" (so to speak) as I was shooting.
Since I leave tomorrow and there don't seem to be any *perfect* options at this point I will just buy a 1GB card and bring my laptop with me. Should suffice...I hope...

Hey fellow Woodstockian.
I just purchased the Wolverine Flashpac from B&H for 199 American.
It is 40 gigabytes and works like a charm. Its not flashy with a little screen, but why would u need a color screen anyway.
Heres a link if you are interested.

Hey Damian...you wouldn't want to make a few bucks on a Wolverine rental for a few weeks, would you?
