I saw the Archos device. I mentioned it somewhere in this thread. At least I think it was in this thread. That might be what prompted the whole "jack-of-all-trades" product thing.

Having a small device to use as an offloader for digicam card pics is very useful. It will be even more useful when I start taking more photos again. Really great for when traveling (that's when most people take the most photos). The devices that are already out there for this purpose are very specific and quite expensive when compared to the Riot and other product categories like PDAs. Having a nice PDA with a built-in hard drive would also be really cool (for many reasons). With something like that you could also preview your images once offloaded. Someday we'll have some really great handheld computing platforms. Someday.
