NYT on Photo Storage Devices

Posted by timothy on from the like-totally-massive dept.

prostoalex writes "New York Times reviews hard-drive-based photo storage devices for digital photographers on the go: 'The photo vaults in this roundup - the Epson P-2000, Jobo GigaVu Pro, Archos AV420 and SmartDisk FlashTrax - present a wide range of choice in size, shape, bells and whistles.'" (Pogue also discusses Apple's and Belkin's devices to use an iPod for the same purpose; I only wish Apple's worked with the non-Photo version of the iPod.)

  1. Archos support both PAL & NTSC video by Andyvan · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have the Archos, and found it incredibly useful on a recent trip to Germany. A German friend had some video he had recorded, and I was able to dub it onto my Archos (PAL format).

    When I got home to the US, I was able to view it in NTSC format, and have since put it onto a DVD.

    I also used it to off-load 2 different cameras, watch a movie, and listen to music.

    Oh, almost forgot, I also used it to record a concert via the microphone, and to record a couple of tracks from an LP via the line-in.

    I didn't miss having a laptop at all, though I do have a PDA to do laptop-like stuff.
