There are a lot of these devices around. I am kind of scared of them
because they do not have a good reputation for reliability and would
hate to lose a vacation's worth of pictures, but it may be the only
solution for traveling light. Most reliable is a small laptop. Even
more reliable is to have some sort of duplication so that if one fails
the other works, like a CD burned on the laptop retaining the image on
the hard drive.
Here is the site of a young French guy who has started a catalog of all
the variation of these devices with link to the manufacturer.
