Pre-PMA 2003: Nixvue Systems the manufacturers of the Digital Album and Vista (Visual Storage Album) has today announced a new concept in mobile digital image storage. The Visor is based around a portable CD writer device which can copy images directly from flash memory cards (Compact Flash, SD/MMC, Memory Stick and others) onto CD-R discs. This ia a very interesting device as it allows for safe 'record to archive' capabilities and would be extremely useful on holidays or long trips. The Visor can also playback images on a CD-R to a TV or PC.

Nixvue has announced its new firmware version 1.04 (and soon 1.05) for the Vista portable storage / display unit.

Other new features include the viewing of EXIF and Histogram information and multiple sub-directory slideshow option.

Steve over at Steves-Digicams has posted his review of Nixvue Systems Digital Album. Steve had this to say "This pocket-sized wonder contains a 10-Gigabyte hard drive with more than enough space to store tens of thousands of high-resolution camera images. The Digital Album will be available for $599 in about a month and will be distributed in the U.S. by the Jobo folks"

Thanks to reader JRG for pointing us towards this prototype / pre-production product. The Nixvue Digital Album is similar to the Digital Wallet product we've previously reviewed, however it's smaller, features a 10 GB hard disk and has the ability to work standalone (without a PC), via a remote control you can view images on a TV (Video / S-Video) and/or print directly (has a parallel port). This neat little product is certainly interesting and we'll try to bring you more information as it becomes available.
