This sounds like it eliminates the need for a CF card in a digital camera. I don't think I understand how it connects to the camera, anyone got a clue on this little gadget - how it connects, how it operates, etc.?

Is this somehow a "live" external storage device for the camera; i.e. effectively gives me a live, connected hard disk (w/o being a microdisk in the CF slot)?

It works as a way to store your pictures when your camera gets full. Instead of pluging your camera into your computer, plug it into this drive and it will copy all files from the camera to the drive. (Works with other things, not just cameras).

It is the best one i have ever seen, however i cant find a place to buy it in the United States.
Anyone know how to get it in the US?
