Jobo unveils GIGA One Ultra photo storage device
Just in case you really needed another alternative in the portable photo storage drive department, Jobo is introducing its GIGA One Ultra, which is available with a varying level of internal storage and a plethora of onboard card slots. The USB 2.0 unit promises transfer speeds "of up to 5.47MB/second" and is available with 40, 80, 120 and 200GB internal hard drives. Furthermore, each one is equipped with support for CompactFlash, Microdrive, SD, SDHC, MS, MSPro, MS Duo and MMC cards, and it even allows users to delete the data from one's card once the transfer is complete. You'll also find a two-inch LCD, battery status / remaining HDD space indicators, an aluminum casing and covered ports to fend off dust and debris. The new GIGA One Ultra is slated to hit shelves later this month and will run you €149 ($211), €199 ($282), €229 ($325) and €329 ($467) from least capacious to most.

Can't display the photos once transferred? How do i know it worked? I don't trust it...
I'll stick to using my iPod with iPod Camera adaptor.

No thanks, I'd rather pay a little bit more and get something like the Wolverine ESP, and be able to see my photos on a nice 3.8" color screen.

Jobo used to make fantastic darkroom stuff, I might bite.

Speed and battery longevity.. that's what I wonder about.
A screen wouldn't suck, but then it needs to be compatible with a myriad of RAW formats. I guess that's where the GigaVu Evo comes in. Or did that turn out to be vaporware?

"Just in case you really needed another alternative"
AFAIK, the word "alternative" should be used when you have only two options (i.e. a candidate and it's alternative).
Here the word "option" should be used instead of "alternative"...

not true, run free my bloggers, and use alternative for any number of options!

Surely the intention is to offer one alternative option? The author is not suggesting I buy every other PSD on the market - just one. ;)
