Portable Harddrive for Axim

Hey everyone.

I was planning on buying an X50V and an Archos Gmini220. The Gmini220 has a 20Gb HD and a CF 'reader'. I was planning on keeping movies/music on the Gmini and transfering them to the CF to be used on the X50V. I have since learned that the Gmini CF IS just a reader - you can't copy from the HD to the CF.

Does anyone have any other suggestions or alternatives? The Gmini is around $200 and I thought it would have made a great portable HD.

Thanks.

Assuming that you don't care that much about MP3 playback, the ImageTank G2 can read/write to CF cards (and SD/MMC/Memory Stick/SmartMedia with an adapter). It's not real speedy but it gets the job done. :approve:

You might look at this CF to USB connector, although it is not USB 2.0:

You could use it to connect to a USB minidrive. They list some of the drives that it is known to work with.
