Travel Technology - Device to download pics that isn't a laptop?View Full Version : Device to download pics that isn't a laptop? sueoz Mar 25, 07, 10:40 am Hi - We like to travel a lot and am thinking of a laptop but the price is putting me on hold for now. Is there a device that I could download pictures, edit and type notes without going the laptop route? Cheaper? Thanks, sue BLI-Flyer Mar 25, 07, 12:10 pm A high end phone (Blackberry, Treo, etc.) would do all that. Of course, you're going to be locked into a contract with the phone company . . . What price range are you looking at? I've seen a lot of sub-$500 laptops for sale recently. sueoz Mar 25, 07, 1:16 pm Hi - i'm hoping to spend on a good laptop sometime this year and would rather not put money into a "lesser" one right now. Unless that would be cheaper than some other device! sue dgwright99 Mar 25, 07, 1:24 pm Looks like this would do what you need (note - I am in no way affiliated with this auction) http://cgi.ebay.com/Portable-Storage-Digital-Camera-Backup-Card-reader-B14_W0QQitemZ220094937145QQcategoryZ43450QQcmdZVie wItem Loren Pechtel Mar 25, 07, 2:49 pm Looks like this would do what you need (note - I am in no way affiliated with this auction) http://cgi.ebay.com/Portable-Storage-Digital-Camera-Backup-Card-reader-B14_W0QQitemZ220094937145QQcategoryZ43450QQcmdZVie wItem Except this can't do the editing. greatam Mar 25, 07, 3:02 pm Looks like this would do what you need (note - I am in no way affiliated with this auction) http://cgi.ebay.com/Portable-Storage-Digital-Camera-Backup-Card-reader-B14_W0QQitemZ220094937145QQcategoryZ43450QQcmdZVie wItem And you must install your own HD. But a 20G hard drive would be pretty cheap. The higher priced ones on the same auction page ($100.00 and up) have their own storage. |
