Battery-Powered USB Enclosure

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

An anonymous reader pointed us to a story about a battery-powered USB disk enclosure. It operates on AA batteries. It's aluminum, and is sorta meant to offload data from cameras. It's only 2.5 inches, so that's not totally unreasonable, but I'm still struggling a bit with the 'Why' part of the equation.

    so what has this that the iPod hasn't?

    The ability to be a USB bus master?

    Has no one seen the belkin Media Reader for the IPOD? It allows you to automatically read your media onto the iPOD. Why would I want a HD enclosure?
