I'm planning to get more away from my computer with my camera, and I've been looking at solutions for emptying my CF-card onto a harddrive while travelling. My most probable choice is CompactDrive PD7X (which I'll buy here unless someone gives me a better offer), but I'm also looking at Archos AV420 that has too many features I don't need and the Epson P-2000 that has some great reviews, is an image browser as well and supports Canon's RAW format, ...
