Hi All,

Is there any accessory available to store the images from the camera to something for time being if we don't have access to PC (During long trips etc..) other than buying extra large memory flash(storage)cards?

If you're going to take a TON of pics the best solution is a tiny cheap laptop. I've done that a few times... On my trip to greece I bought two 32MB cards to supplement my 64MB one, and left the laptop at home. I didn't even need them, just sold them on Ebay for more than I paid. Some people use the "clik", but personally I think it sucks, it only takes 40MB cards, and the cost could go a long way towards a cheap used laptop.

Dear Susan,There is a new product coming out at the end of April called the digital wallet,I'll enclose a copy of the mail shot sent to me.Kind regards,SteveThank you for your interest in the Digital Wallet.

Shipping for the award winning Digital Wallet is scheduled for late April 2000. You'll be able to purchase the Digital Wallet from major electronic retail stores. We'll be getting more specific soon.

MSRP for a 6GB Digital Wallet will be $499. The unit will come in the following two colors, 1) gray and black 2) translucent blue.

Physically, the Digital Wallet is 5 inches tall, 3 = inches wide and 1 inch thick. It weights less than 10 ounces making transporting easy; especially if you purchase the specially made carrying case.

The Digital Wallet has been vibration and shock tested at 1.0G operating vibration. Operating shock is 150G and Non-operating shock is 700Gs. Simply put, we doubt you would want to drop your Digital Wallet any more than you would you digital camera, cell phone or laptop computer. If you do accidentally drop the Digital Wallet, say from waste high, you'll have no problems. The drive is specially insulated to protect what you hold most important, your data.

The Digital Wallet comes with a 1 Year Limited Warranty.

will there be a smaller version (smaller capacity about 2-4gb) that you might be considering? It just makes it more affordable...

This is a killer, exciting product. Looks like they did this right, unlike the bozos who did clik drives. You guys could kill clik if you are fast with good marketing.
