I can't beleive people are bitchin that this port is pointless. I have a Pro Photographer friend with a high end digital Camera which basically chews through a 512 Meg CF card on a Pro shoot. He doesn't really want to drop $2000 on a big bulky laptop just to store photo's. I was looking for a portable HD solution for his camera (some kind of $5000AU Nikon Clone, yes it's got a Firewire port) but suprisingly didn't find anything (anyone wanna help me out here). Once the Firwire kernel modules are developed for this thing I imagine a port of Gphoto or similiar would make this a shit hot utilitity for Pro Digital Photographers (and not so pro nerds with cameras).
