For quite some time now digital photographers have been
crying out for a product like the Digital Wallet. Out in the field it's
not convenient to carry a bulky notebook everywhere you go, most people
resort to purchasing large numbers (or capacities) of memory cards but
promise of a better solution has been on the horizon, now it's a real
product...
The Digital Wallet is a simple concept, a portable device
with a large amount of storage (in this case 6 GB), a flash socket (in
this case a PCMCIA port) and built-in processor capable of copying the
contents of the flash card. This enables the photographer to go out on
a shoot with a small portable storage device capable of storing many thousands
of images.
