Saving photos on an iPod
September 17, 2004

	I have a 20GB iPod and was wondering if I could save pictures on it. That would beat buying more CompactFlash cards.	Submitted by: giper, CNET forums

You can download photos from your camera to your iPod with Belkin's iPod Media Reader or Digital Camera Link. That would be a very economical and portable solution to your photo storage problem. However, there's a risk involved since the only way you can check whether your photos have downloaded properly is by using the rudimentary verification function available on the Digital Camera Link. For more information on portable photo storage options, take a look at this issue of our Get the Picture column and see how the features and performance of specific products compare in this article.
