 Gary is missing the point of this device June 24, 2010

Gary is missing the point of this device. Yes, it does view pictures - but that's not its main function. (And he's right in saying that if all you want is a great photo viewer, then just get yourself a good smartphone or iPod touch or similar.) Where this device's main strength lies is in its capacity as a "photo storage tank" - that is, a device that will let you back up the data from your digital camera's memory cards. Let's say you're on vacation and you take a lot of pictures and fill up your memory card. What do you do? You could offload your pictures onto a computer, but then that would mean you'd have to bring your laptop with you, and you might not want to do that. (Also the Picture Porter is a heck of a lot more portable than even the smallest netbook) Also it can be used to prevent you from losing all of your pictures if you lose your camera, your camera is stolen, or your camera's memory card fails (rare, but it does happen on occasion). Of course it also functions well as a photo viewer, so you can easily review the pictures that you took on its nice big screen (bigger than the screens on most digital cameras, even DSLR's).
The unit is small and lightweight, easy to pack in even the most crowded camera bags. Battery life is superb - on one recent shoot I was able to back up eight 8 GB CompactFlash cards and the battery didn't even dip below 50%. Copy speed was a bit slow - maybe 15-20 minutes for an 8 GB CompactFlash card - but wasn't too bad. Also transfer speed to the computer was about the same as any external USB 2.0 hard drive. Since it presents itself as a standard USB 2.0 external hard drive when plugged into your computer, it will work with both Windows and Mac (probably even Linux too, though I haven't tried) and requires no special drivers or software.
My only complaint is with its user interface and control scheme/button layout - it can be quite confusing when you're first learning it, but even once you've used it for a while, you can still get confused. It's not very intuitive. But the basic "copy contents of memory card to the internal hard drive" function is fairly simple, so if that's all you want to use it for, then you're fine.

It is a waste of money. Pay the difference and buy a better cell phone that will do everything this unit does and MUCH more for less and in one piece of hardware. You will be happier and have a better unit in the end.
