"Unless your a professional photographer (altho i highly doubt a professional photographer to be technologically inept) then why the hell would you need this useless thing"
You clearly are not a photographer. A pro photographer shooting in RAW mode on a modern DSLR camera can fill a 4GB Compact Flash card in under 200 shots. A photo shoot can end up being thousands of shots. So what's he supposed to do when he's in the field without access to an AC outlet, much less a computer? Pack up and go home after 200 photos?
Laptops and PCs are great if your idea of photography is something done on Christmas morning with a point-and-shoot, but if you're a pro, you need a way to transfer images off of your camera's flash memory when you're in the field.

OKAY, I SHOULD HAVE READ THE ARTICLE. I'M AN IDIOT.
I thought you plugged your camera into the device and it transferred images from your camera (like the Apple iPod camera adapter).
I'll agree with everyone else that this devices, as described, is useless.
