The Apple store has the ~20 quid cable style adapter, and the ~60 quid Belkin card reader. The only drawback is the 60 GB version costs 299 quid, while the 20 GB is 209 quid. The 20 is thus too small to act as a backup for my 26 GB music archive, and the 60 is a tad expensive. Nope :) Friday was the first day I ever played with an iPod.

Oh well, at least you're getting to now. Yeah, the new ones are pretty darn slick. While I miss the physical scrollwheel of the first version, the new touchpad system is still really effective. As for using it as photo storage: Belkin (others probably) make a card reader attachment for your ipod that will allow you to offload your card directly into your ipod, turning it into a digital wallet. For those of us that are trigger happy, WELL worth the money. :) I could have sworn I let you play with my iPod at some point. Oh well, at least you’re getting to now.
