Default XD Card Reader

Anyone know of any good XD Card Reader? The kind that allows you to copy direct to a portable USB HDD without going through laptop?

the portable hdd currently do not have an XD slot. You might wanna consider getting a CF adapter. This way, you plug in your XD to the CF adapter and then to the portable device...

Cool....I'm should be out by Saturday....shall we go shooting next week? Let's go for something from morning till late noon or evening....unless you want to go for night shooting also...ha ha ha...but think on that day, you can pass your car to your wife...cos driving can be a hassle....taking buses / trains will be most interesting. of course, this is just a suggestion....but if you are really driving, I'll pay for all your parking charges though....(my standard practice).....cheers!

That drive is one cool gadget...but dun come cheap.....it accepts CompactFlash Type I/II, MicroDrive, SmartMedia, SD/MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, xD Picture Card, and hence you dun need to buy a CF card adapter... this is one investment....yio...yio...yio..... maybe we go check it out when we go shooting....how?
