no computer storage???

I have searched and cant seem to find a unit that is small, battery powered, where you can plug in your card download you images then reformat your card and use it again. Is there a device like this I am missing??? Thanks in advance

I have a 40G Wolverine Flashpac that does this. Has no image preview though, just a window that shows you that the files are downloading.
I used it once, to make sure I understood it, and have it packed for my upcoming trip.

I have the 40GB hyperdrive. Only problem - I don't use it much. I'd have been better sinking my dosh into large memory cards.

Search ebay for digimate
ANYTHING except the original will work great!
The original had problems that have been resolved in later versions. I currently have the digimate ii and LOVE it!

These devices fall into 3 categories (or two)
1. You can copy everything off the card with the push of a button; with NO image display (re: cheap)
2a. You can copy files off the card and review Jpg's (re: much more expensive because of the cpu/display necessary)
2b. All of 2a with the addition of RAW files (More expensive than 2a)

You need to decide what your use/comfort level is. I used my digimate ii to copy EVERY card (After dumping onto my pc) for about 3 months before using it without backup. I never had a problem with it during testing; so now I trust it completely!.
