I really want to know why someone would choose to buy a device like this. ]]>Feb 27th 2009 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/Sometimes there are locations that require a minimal amount of equipment and long battery life(120GB of Xfer). Netbooks have really forced these devices into a niche. But I have a friend that does a lot of traveling for his landscapes and he doesnt want to waste an extra pound and sometimes is without electricity for 2-3 days.]]>Feb 27th 2009 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/
However, its cost is also way high as well making you ponder the value for a temporary holding solution, since at the end of the day, neither a photo viewer or a netbook wil be used to edit the images.... Fiurther the cost of an Epson viewer verses is HDD space is horrible as well.

I have an original Epson viewer that I stilll use (when netbooks were imaginary), and I would be another but at only half the of their current prices.

Am I missing something???]]>Feb 28th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/Apr 20th 2009 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/Feb 27th 2009 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/
As said, this is great to throw in a small camera bag. I can fit a point and shoot, 580ex flash, full frame dslr and a spare lens in a small bag. Tucking a storage device in there would make it ultra portable and easy to grab my camera off my hip to shoot, and sit down to offload and change gear. It's got everything i need to get the job done. I'd much rather edit back in the comfort of my home studio then on the road in South East Asia.

One day I hope to get a netbook that will do all my basic tasks, but how will the OS run after many times of unloading/loading the hard drive? Wouldn't it bog your system down defeating the purpose of even having a light netbook that is speedy with your internet/word processor type tasks?]]>Apr 20th 2009 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/jobo-unveils-two-new-giga-photo-storage-devices/Apr 20th 2009 2:36PM
