[Leica] CF unload to a usb drive through PDA?

[woc2 at earthlink.net (Bill O'Connell)]

Lee,
Hmmm, good question.  I never tried going direct to my external device.  I
have both a hard drive and a DVD burner.  I used the PC as a middleman
whenever I did it.
Along those lines, have been looking at the new Ipod Photo for remote
storage.  It has an optional USB plug that allows you to plug the camera
into the device with the USB cable just like it is a computer.  The 60Gb
model should hold a fair amount of pictures.
Has anyone on the list used one yet?
Bill

Thanks, Bill.  What I try to do is to copy pics
directly from a CF card to an external USB hard drive
using a PDA instead of a PC/notebook.  Some PDAs have
both CF slot and USB connector.  I wonder if a PDA
(e.g. Dell Axim) can act like a PC/notebook.  It'd be
very nice for travel. It requires the PDA acting like
a USB host and I think USB-OTG can do that but am not
sure if any current PDA implemented it.

Thanks.

Lee
